4 frozen homestyle waffles
2 TBS salted butter
2 TBS maple syrup
Additional maple syrup for serving, if desired
Instructions
- Cook the breaded chicken chunks according to package instructions until golden and crispy.

Notes
Use spicy breaded chicken or add cayenne for extra heat.
Belgian waffles add extra fluffiness.
Drizzle with hot honey instead of maple syrup for a sweet-spicy twist.
Keep skewers warm in a 200°F oven until serving.
Avoid microwaving leftovers to maintain crispiness.
