Center Stage: Korean Chicken and Waffles Sandwich from Broad Appetite

The Korean chicken and waffle sandwich is a savory mash-up of Asian and African American food cultures. These cuisines couldn’t be any more different, but this dish works seamlessly nonetheless. Maybe it’s because both Korean wings and chicken and waffles were born out of a need to soak up alcohol after a night of drinking. Or maybe it’s because all the tastiest dishes are inspired by flavors from around the world. Either way, this sandwich is delicious.

The waffle is buttery and crisp with little square wells that capture all the fried, saucy goodness that’s contained within this unconventional bun. After a quick dip in batter, the chicken gets two loving sessions in the deep fryer to guarantee an insane crunch. This ultra crisp coating holds up beautifully when doused in the spicy Korean sauce that makes this dish so special.

The usual garlic, ginger, and soy are present, but it’s the gochujang that makes the sauce uniquely Korean. Gochujang is a fermented paste that’s made with red peppers, glutinous rice, and soybeans and is ubiquitous in Korean cooking. It gives the dish that sought-after umami that is so irresistible. No self-respecting Korean dish would be complete without an egg on top, and this sandwich is no exception.

As cooks get more comfortable with Asian ingredients and cooking techniques, the quality of fusion dishes continues to improve. Long gone are the days of pale green wasabi mash potatoes and overcooked teriyaki salmon. This is an era of culinary creativity and innovation, and the word “fusion” has now redeemed itself. This sandwich celebrates the emancipation of fusion cuisine and is a tasty way to enjoy the best of two worlds.

  1. Preheat waffle iron. Beat 2 eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl. In
  2. a separate bowl, mix 2 cups flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the egg mixture to the flour and mix until a batter forms.

Dip the chicken thighs into the slurry, shaking off any excess. Deep fry each piece for 6 minutes and set on paper towels to drain. Bring the oil back up to 350 degrees and re-fry each piece for an additional 6 minutes. Again, drain excess oil on paper towels.
  7. While the chicken is draining, spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and cook 2 eggs over easy. Set aside.
  8. Place fried chicken on a plate and pour the gochujang sauce all over the chicken, making sure that all surfaces are coated. Place 2 pieces of chicken on a waffle and top with an egg. Pour any excess sauce over the chicken and egg, then top with the second waffle.

Buffalo Chicken Wings from Everyday Good Thinking, the official blog of @hamiltonbeach

The Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York is renowned as the birthplace of the Buffalo wing. In the mid-1960s, legend has it, bar owner Teressa Bellissimo first served them to her son and his friends after hours as the creative result of a mistaken food shipment. Who would’ve guessed Buffalo wings would eventually become the quintessential bar food and a staple in homes around the nation? As the recipes surely evolved, so did our curiosities. What makes a Buffalo wing a true Buffalo wing, and when is it just a chicken wing in a different brand of hot sauce?

The basic recipe for Buffalo wings (or just “wings,” as the locals call them) comes down to a few must-haves: cayenne pepper hot sauce, butter and deep fried chicken wings. Various colleagues from the Buffalo region boast about the tweaks they’ve made to the classic that set their wings apart from the rest. Some add more or less butter to control the heat, others use grass-fed butter to maximize creaminess, and some add cayenne pepper or garlic powder to boost the flavor quotient.

The Western New York natives in the office decided to have a chicken wing cook off to prove once and for all who has the best Buffalo wing recipe. Here’s what we found: there are alterations you can make here or there, but as long as the basis of your recipe is the same, it’ll be delicious. (Though if you ask Matt, he’ll still adamantly argue just a pinch of garlic powder is key. I think it’s tasty either way.)

In the end, we settled on this recipe as our favorite because it was easy, accessible and crowd-pleasing. We encourage you to play with the flavors because, in the end, you may agree with Matt after all. Let us know in the comments how you like to prepare your Buffalo chicken wings.

Do you use Frank’s Red Hot? Do you add any crazy ingredients or spices? We’d love to hear about it!
