Whether it’s wine and cheese, bacon and eggs, or peanut butter and jelly, there are some things that are undeniably best had together — and that includes fried chicken and waffles.

We don’t know where to pinpoint its appeal either. Maybe it’s the ultimate best of both worlds for diners who seek both a sweet, hearty breakfast and a savoury lunch option, or perhaps it’s how a guilty pleasure like crispy fried chicken can elevate a fluffy waffle. We think it’s a combination of all that, not to mention that generous serving of sauce, that tie the entire dish together.
