chicken and waffles

Soul food combo

Chicken and waffles is a dish combining fried chicken with waffles, typically served with butter and maple syrup.

The combination of savory and sweet has roots in African American cuisine, particularly associated with soul food restaurants and Southern cooking.

Once regional, it has spread to mainstream menus: We stopped at a diner famous for its chicken and waffles.
