Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 large waffles (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cheese sauce
  • 2 sesame seed burger buns
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • Vegetable oil for frying

How to Make Cheesy Chicken Stack Burger

  1. Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and add flavor.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  4. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, coating thoroughly.
  5. Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the hot oil and fry for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Remove and drain on paper towels.
  6. While the chicken is frying, toast the waffles in a toaster or on a griddle until golden brown.
  7. Assemble your burger: start with the bottom half of the sesame seed bun, add a fried chicken breast, place a waffle on top, drizzle with cheese sauce, and add the shredded cheddar.
  8. Finish with a drizzle of maple syrup, top with the other half of the bun, and secure with a skewer if necessary.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy the indulgent flavors!

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken in buttermilk and flour before frying.
  • Make your own cheese sauce for a fresher taste by melting cheese with a bit of milk on low heat.
  • If you prefer homemade waffles, consider adding a hint of vanilla or cinnamon to the batter.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute the chicken with crispy tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or gouda for a unique flavor twist.
  • Add toppings like crispy bacon, sliced jalapeños, or even coleslaw for added texture and flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy sweet potato fries for a delicious side.
  • A fresh green salad to balance the richness of the burger.
  • Homemade coleslaw for a crunchy, tangy contrast.
  • Extra maple syrup on the side for drizzling.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the chicken in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, and toast the waffles lightly before assembling the burger again.
