Ingredients
- 24 small frozen chicken nuggets or popcorn chicken
- 24 mini frozen waffles (I used Eggo)
- ½ cup hot honey or honey or maple syrup (See Notes to make your own)
Instructions
- Cook chicken nuggets in an air fryer or oven according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, toast mini waffles in a toaster until browned, then separate into individual waffles.
- Right before serving, arrange the waffles in a single layer on a platter. Place one chicken nugget on top of each waffle and secure them together with a toothpick.
- Drizzle each nugget with about 1 teaspoon of hot honey, honey, or maple syrup.
Notes
Make your own hot honey with my Shortcut Homemade Hot Honey recipe.
Substitutions & Variations:
- Trade out the fried chicken nuggets with grilled nuggets.
- Melt my Freezer Green and Red Pepper Jelly to drizzle in place of hot honey.
- Make little sandwiches by topping them with an additional mini waffle.
- Cut up raw chicken breasts into cubes and bake, grill (in grill pan), or pan-fry them.
- For a low-carb option, place the chicken nuggets on waffle-cut carrots. Why not? Chicken and carrots are eaten together in pot pie?
- Trade out the traditional waffles for waffle fries.
- Can't find small frozen waffles? Cut regular size waffles into small squares.
