MAKES: 18

INGREDIENTS
● 500g chicken thigh, cut into 3cm chunks
● 200ml buttermilk or thick yoghurt
● ½ cup plain flour
● ¼ cup corn flour
● ½ tsp baking powder
● 60g Kellogg's® Nutri-Grain®
● 9 small store-bought mini waffles, halved
● Maple syrup to serve
● Blueberries to serve

Spice mix:
● 2 tsp smoked paprika
● 1 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder
● ½ tsp each, white pepper, cayenne pepper, ground cumin

DIRECTIONS

1. For the spice mix, combine all the ingredients with 2 tsp salt flakes.

2. Combine half the spice mix with the buttermilk then add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3. Combine the plain flour and corn flour with the remaining half of the spice mix in a big bowl. Crush the Nutri-Grain in a food processor or Ziploc bag until the crumbs resemble the size of panko crumbs. Combine with the flour mixture. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, take a piece and coat with the Nutri-Grain flour mixture.

4. Half-fill a large saucepan with oil, place over medium-high temperature and heat the oil to 150°C then cook the chicken in batches for 4 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack.

5. Heat the waffles, as per packet instructions and brush with some maple syrup. Serve the chicken on waffles, doused with maple syrup & scattered with blueberries.
