Are you a busy parent that might be in charge of feeding your child’s baseball team? Maybe it’s not your week to bring the oranges to the big game, so here are three delicious Chicken & Waffle Slider recipes that will make you the MVP of the team. $1 off coupon below!
There are many different ways and styles that Chicken and Waffles can be served. There is a soul food version, a Pennsylvania Dutch version, a Southern version…the list goes on. My favorite way to eat this tasty combo is in slider form. Who can resist a slider of any kind?
I like to whip these up for brunch, appetizers, or even game night. What I like even more about these sliders is that mostly everything is store-bought, except for two of the sauces (which are extremely easy to make). Below, you are going to see the three versions that I created and the recipe for each. Tip: If you are in a hurry and don’t have time to make the Garlic Cream Sauce, pick up Hidden Valley® Roasted Garlic Ranch. This is a great substitute! Also, utilize your oven and toaster oven/microwave and cook the nuggets and the waffles at the same time.
Each waffle will yield two sliders. A box of ten waffles will make twenty sliders. If you are looking for a healthy, meatless, & soy-free nugget, try Quorn’s Chik’n Nuggets. That is what I used when testing this recipe and also pictured below. Click here for a $1 off coupon!
Chicken and Waffle Sliders with a Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce
Ingredients
1 head of Garlic, small
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp of Butter
2 tbsp Onion, finely diced
1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1/4 cup of Vegetable or Chicken Stock
1/2 tsp of Salt
1/4 tsp of Black Pepper
1 tbsp Corn Starch + 2 tbsp water
1 box of Buttermilk Waffles (at least 10 waffles)
1 package of your favorite chicken nuggets (up to 20 nuggets)
Onion Scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal for garnish
20 mini Bamboo Knot Picks/Skewers
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 400°.
Take the head of garlic and slice off the top, exposing the cloves. Place on a square sheet of tin foil. Drizzle with 1 tsp of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold the corners of the in foil together creating a little tent. Bake for 35 minutes or until the garlic is soft. Let cool.
In a small sauce pan, over medium low heat add the butter. Once melted add the onion. Cook until the onions start to turn translucent. Next, whisk in the heavy whipping cream and stock. Remove four of the roasted garlic cloves from the head of roasted garlic and using the back of your knife, drag it across the cloves, creating a paste. Add the garlic paste, salt and pepper to the sauce pan and whisk. Bring the sauce to a slight bubble, whisk in the cornstarch and water mixture. Reduce to low/keep warm, whisking occasionally while you heat the waffles and chicken nuggets.
Heat the waffles and nuggets according to the directions on the packaging or preference. Cut each waffle into four even pieces, basically making a plus sign to create the shape a fat slice of pie.
Building these from the bottom up, start by laying out half of the pieces of waffle. Place a chicken nugget on each piece, followed by a good tablespoon of the roasted garlic cream sauce. Top with the remaining waffle pieces and secure slider with a mini bamboo skewer. Garnish with onion scallions.
