CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Some times when its time for dinner you have a craving for breakfast so what better way to have this meal for dinner. Even though this meal might sound weird or nasty to some but it’s a meal catching on to a lot of people especially in the south is chicken and waffles. And I say don’t knock it till you try it, waffles are a huge staple for breakfast and every one loves fried chicken so why not add both of them together for a meal. To me you can enjoy this wonderful meal for either breakfast or dinner.  The classic flavor combination of sweet and salty is to die for. The chicken is crispy and savory with that fried taste, while the waffles are light, fluffy and sweet and once you add syrup on there its like heaven in your mouth its such a wonderful combination that I feel like every one needs to at least try once in there life time.

 The concept of chicken and waffle was born in Harlem, New York in the 1930’s Wells served many celebrities as they hung out in the late night hours. Many of them could not decide if they wanted breakfast or dinner so why not have both and BAM the creation of chicken and waffles started and is still going strong. And it caught on in the ATL with the building of Gladys Knights chicken and waffles in 1997 and has been going on great ever since. It’s a most try spot when you visit Atlanta or when you live in Atlanta.

 There are many ways to going about eating this wonderful meal. Some people go right for the chicken, saving the waffle for dessert. Others do exactly the opposite; they start with the waffle, because they want to save the chicken for last. You can shred the chicken, put it on the waffle, and pour syrup over the whole thing and eat it like that. I personally eat half chicken then half waffle and back to the chicken and end it with the waffle, switching from salty to sweet is a unique taste I must say the most.

So I end this with next time you are clubbing in the ATL and the end of the night has came and you are not drunk and starving instead of going to waffle house and just be limited to just waffles go to Gladys Knights chicken and waffles they are open to 4am and you will be hooked from there on in. The wonderful taste that I explained earlier or even better when you are drunk and starving you will find yourself asking why I have never enjoyed this wonderful combination.
