Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheddar Chicken and Waffle Sandwich.
Step 1
Start by gathering a large bowl and combining the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated garlic, and Italian seasoning.
Step 2
Give it a good mix to ensure everything is well blended, then set it aside for later.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together warm milk, eggs, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Step 4
Now, pour this creamy milk mixture into your dry ingredients and stir gently until just blended.
Step 5
To add a delicious cheesy twist, fold in the shredded Cheddar cheese with care, making sure not to overmix.
Step 6
Next, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Once it’s nice and hot, place the frozen breaded chicken fillets in the air fryer basket.
Step 8
Cook them for 7 minutes, then flip the chicken pieces over and continue cooking for another 6 minutes until they are crispy and cooked through.
Step 9
While the chicken is sizzling away, preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) to keep your waffles warm.
Step 10
Don’t forget to preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and give it a light spray with nonstick cooking spray to ensure those waffles come out perfectly.
Step 11
Now it’s time to make those waffles! Ladle about 3 tablespoons of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron.
Step 12
Close the lid and let it cook until the waffle turns a beautiful golden brown and the steam has subsided, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 13
Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a lined baking sheet in the warm oven to keep it cozy.
Step 14
Repeat this process with the remaining batter until all your waffles are cooked and ready to go.
Step 15
Once all the waffles are done, it’s time for the fun part—assembling your sandwiches! Take a crispy chicken fillet and place it between two warm waffles.
Step 16
Serve your delicious creation right away and enjoy every bite of this delightful meal!.
