NBR; Chicken and Waffles

I have never had chicken and waffles.  It seems like such an.... odd combination.  However, I trust my NBC peeps when they say it is delicious. 

I am ordering out for lunch today at a local, more upscale pizza joint.  They have chicken and waffles.  Do I try it or wait and go to a place that's more authentic?  I'd hate to ruin my experience on a bad example.  Or is it something that can't be messed up?

Re: NBR; Chicken and Waffles

  • DO NOT ORDER IT.

    You need REAL chicken and waffles, not some crap that comes from a pizza place no matter how upscale it is.

    Ditto @MrsJenE. DO NOT EAT RANDOM CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.

    You need to book a flight to LA and go to Roscoe's. Best chicken and waffles.

    Also upscale pizza joint is not the best place for chicken and waffles. You need a hole in the wall joint run by a family matriarch who's been frying chicken for decades.

    You had to say the one word that would make me miss LA (Roscoe's).

    I MISS ROSCOE'S!!!!!  They have the best greens too.

  • @MrsJenE Do you know of any place locally?  We don't exactly live in chicken and waffles territory.

    @MrsC7 I'll make sure to add that to my list of places to go if/when I visit LA!

  • There's supposed to be a great place in Dorchester (I think), but that's a haul for you.

    Are chicken and waffles and beer a good mix? I mean, I'm game, but I'm still iffy on the chicken and waffles idea. On the beer front, I'M IN for sure.

    At my favorite place, they are both sweet and savory. The waffles are the thick, dense, sweet liege style Belgians, but they drizzle syrup on the waffle, and hot sauce over everything. They are freaking amazing.

    This is what you do:

    1.  Cut off a piece of savory, delicious chicken.
    2.  Spear piece of savory, delicious chicken.
    3.  Cut and spear off a piece of sweet, delicious waffle.
    4.  Now that chicken and waffle are both on your fork, dunk deliciousness into syrup.
    5.  Eat.
    6.  Vow to never go without chicken and waffles again.

    I think it's just going to have to be a trust thing, it just doesn't sound good to me.

    Then again, a lot of people think eating this guy is bonkers.

  • I've never had chicken and waffles either, but damn, I want some now.

    How far south would I have to go for good C&W?  Like, could I find some delicious in the DC area when I'm down there this summer?
  • Maybe I had random chicken and waffles because I was thoroughly unimpressed.  I got them from a chicken and waffles food truck in downtown Chattanooga?

    @SusieBW Wait, you're coming to DC? When? We must GTG!

    Sadly, I don't know of any good C&Ws in the area. :(

  • @MrsC7
    Yes!  Absolutely.  I'm still not sure exactly when, but probably late June for a long weekend.  My brother and his family live in Bethesda, and we usually go down to visit them in the early summer.  Usually when we're there we try to get into DC for one day of touristy stuff, to try and see at least one museum or monument we haven't gotten to before.

    Do you live right in DC?

    I've tried them from a few places.  I'm not a huge fan either.

  • Chicken and waffles in Lancaster County PA are different but still tasty. We do a nice fluffy waffle with baked chicken in chicken gravy. No deep fried goodness, though that does sound amazing. I'm not sold on the deep-fried, syrup, and hot sauce combo but I would surely try it.

    This style actually sounds like something I could go for. Syrup makes me gag in any situation,  so I can't imagine I would like it any more on chicken.

  • There's a place here that is called Thelma's Chicken and Waffles.  That's what they do. DH swears by it but I've not gone in yet.
