This summer on a brisk Friday morning in Jacksonville, with the arrival of my girlfriend later that day, I stumbled upon a Paula Deen show... Praise Paula, Much love. Seeing as I hadn't seen Katie in a while I wanted to make something Legen... wait for it....
DARY...
Paula had a recipe to fry a chicken finger (on a stick) and dip it in Pancake batter then refry.. So, me, being the food connoisseur that I am, took to the kitchen. I one upped you Mrs. Paula though, and I apologize for this. I made a Chic Fil A chicken finger recipe that I received from my top notch girlfriend and mixed it with this pancake batter. There has been no better union of flavors to ever come out of my kitchen. The powdered sugar based batter for the chicken mixed with the extra sweetness of the pancake better and maple syrup was incredible. It sent a sensation of flavor through my taste buds, similar to the feeling of when you first bite down on a Starburst and that flavor explodes into you're mouth. Yea I know that was deep... So if you're ever in town and want a little "Southern Hospitality" stop on by... I would never turn down an opportunity to eat this again.
Recipe~
-Soak the chicken in buttermilk overnight (this will help to keep the batter on the tender).
-Next make the batter: I just did 2/3 Flour and 1/3 Powdered sugar mixture. And the pancake batter was just Aunt Jemima.
-If you want to use the sticks to make it like Mrs. Paula, put the chicken on the sticks at this point. (I didn't do this part, made no difference. Flavors too good...)
-Fry the chicken with the Chic Fil A batter. Then dip the chicken in the pancake batter and cook until its golden brown. (this won't take long).
-Sit back pour some of natures gold (Maple Syrup) on top and let me know what you think.
