7.Serve, two of the waffle wedges with one piece of fried chicken and maple syrup on the side.

*If you do not have a deep fryer, the chicken can easily be fried on the stovetop. In a large sauté pan, add oil to a depth of 1 inch and set the pan over medium-high heat. Using a deep-fat thermometer, heat oil to 375°F. Fry the chicken in batches, about 2 pieces at a time. Do not crowd the pot or the oil will cool down too much and not fry well. Fry, flipping once, until chicken is nicely browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared cooling rack.
