Chicken and what-ffles?
It’s not surprising that to me that non-Americans didn’t know that Americans mix chicken and waffles because I didn’t know this until a few years ago. It certainly sounds like a random mix of different foods for different meals. Pancakes are usually served during breakfast and fried chicken during lunch or dinner.
What surprised me even more is that people drizzle maple syrup on top of the chicken and waffles. You can make waffles savory, and they’d probably go well with gra vy. However, you can’t make fried chicken sweet without gagging. However, after giving chicken and waffles a try, this dish isn’t half bad.
