How to Make: Cannabis Infused Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Waffles

Infused chicken and waffles is a unique twist on a classic southern dish. The combination of savory fried chicken and sweet, fluffy waffles is elevated to a new level with the addition of infused butter or oil. This recipe will guide you through the process of making both the chicken and the waffles, as well as how to infuse the butter or oil for an added kick.

To start, you’ll need the following ingredients:

For the chicken:

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Vegetable oil, for frying

For the waffles:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups milk
• 2 eggs
• 6 tbsp melted butter

For the infused butter or oil:

• 1 cup unsalted butter or vegetable oil
• 1 oz cannabis trim or ground flower (decarboxylated)

To begin, let’s make the infused butter or oil. If you choose to use butter, melt it in a saucepan over low heat. If you choose to use oil, heat it in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter or oil is melted, add in the cannabis trim or ground flower. Stir occasionally and allow it to infuse for about 45 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any plant matter. Set the infused butter or oil aside to cool.

Next, let’s prepare the chicken. In a shallow dish, combine the buttermilk, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place the chicken breasts in the mixture, making sure they are coated on all sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.

After the chicken has marinated, it’s time to bread and fry it. In a separate shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture and coat it in the flour mixture.

Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F. Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

While the chicken is frying, you can prepare the waffles. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Pour enough batter onto the iron to cover the surface, and cook until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

To assemble the infused chicken and waffles, spread a generous amount of infused butter or oil over each waffle. Top with a piece of fried chicken, your favorite syrup and serve immediately.

This infused chicken and waffles recipe is a delicious way to elevate a classic dish and add a little extra kick. The infused butter or oil adds a subtle, herbal flavor to the chicken and waffles, and the combination of savory and sweet flavors is sure to please any palate. Enjoy!
