From what I hear Chicken and Waffles is a Southern thing. I’ve never seen it on any menu in Texas, though, and I wanted to try it! Because the Big Game was fast approaching, I thought ‘why not make these bite-sized appetizers’ as part of our game day food table.

These little appetizers were just delicious and OH BOY were they a huge hit!!
I made 24 mini Chicken and Waffles and they were all gone in record time. (As you can see below, a few were taken before I had time to get my camera out!)
I’ll definitely be making these again and again! And I think maybe I’ll even serve these mini Chicken and Waffles for dinner with a nice salad.
Would you make mini Chicken and Waffles?

These look delicious ! Did you make your own Maple Dijon Dipping Sauce? I would love your recipe. It looks good also.
I did! 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.
What brand mini waffles did you use?
Thanks
Eggo, I think but any brand will work!
