When I was little, I didn’t really eat many waffles but my mom made sure we always had pancakes in the kitchen. We’d have them fried, savory or covered in butter and jam, so I knew they’d be perfect for this colossal Fried Chicken Breakfast Sandwich.

Chicken and waffles are awesome, fact! There’re no two ways about it, so as soon as I seen these slider versions from my friend Heidi of Foodiecrush, I knew I had to get with the program. It’s my dream breakfast, just like these Pancake Breakfast Tacos. I’m all over the savory sweet taste combo.

But let’s say all waffles ended up being abducted by aliens, pancakes could step right in and easily take over, anything a waffle can do, a pancake can do just as well. And that fried chicken should be in food porn jail with no chance of parole. It’s seriously that tasty.

I totally love fried chicken but always thought it took a lot of work to make it…so not true! Just season some flour, shake the chicken in it and drop it into your oil. I like this way because the batter doesn’t get as clumpy as a wet batter dip. 

I used Lawry’s seasoning salt, but you could switch that to some creole or cajun seasoning. Add some garlic powder and onion powder and toss your chicken in it.

This is a recipe with a lot of stages but don’t let that put you off from making it. Make the pancakes ahead of time and the sausage and egg take less than 5 minutes. 

Frying the chicken is where the work is at, but it’s so worth it. 

So come on friends, let’s give the pancake some savory love.
