Directions

Gather all ingredients and make them ready.

Decide on your cooking equipment. You can use a waffle iron or grill pan.

Prepare medium-sized bowl for waffle batter. Add in 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of white sugar, half teaspoon of fine sea salt, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder.

Whisk dry ingredients together until thoroughly combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 whole eggs, half cup of vegetable oil, and one and three-quarters cup of whole milk until smooth.

Pour wet batter into dry ingredients while constantly mixing until smooth.

Preheat and grease waffle iron. Cook batter according to manufacturer instructions. Alternatively, pour batter into a grill pan and cook it like a pancake.

For funnel cake waffles: Heat vegetable oil in a large pot to 350°F. Pipe batter in zigzag pattern into hot oil. Fry for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Drain fried waffles on a wire rack and serve with maple syrup.

In a large bowl, combine one and a half cups of buttermilk, optionally 3 tablespoons of pickle juice, 2 teaspoons of paprika, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon of MSG.

Add chicken drumsticks to the marinade bowl.

In another large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, half teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and optional 1 teaspoon of celery powder and 1 teaspoon of MSG.

Dredge marinated chicken in flour mixture, making sure to coat every crevice.

Deep-fry chicken drumsticks in batches at 350°F until crispy golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 5-8 minutes.

Optional: Prepare Nashville hot oil by mixing 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 3 tablespoons cayenne powder, half teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon MSG in a bowl. Add one cup of hot fryer oil and whisk.

Dunk fried chicken into Nashville hot oil to coat.

Serve chicken drumsticks on top of waffles. Optionally add butter, maple syrup, or honey.

Taste the dish and enjoy the balance of spice, sweetness, and richness.
