Spicy Chicken Waffle Burger
Description
Americans really love homemade waffles—not just for breakfast. That’s probably why they came up with burgers in waffles. True, they drizzle them with maple syrup before serving. That’s too much for me, so I used spicy barbecue tomato sauce to give the dish American flair. It can be served warm or chilled.

Step 1
Trim the chicken thighs of excess fat and pelvic bones. Remove the thigh bones and form an even slab of meat. Mix the spices, salt, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Add the oil and rub the chicken well on all sides. Refrigerate to marinate for anywhere from 1 hour to 24 hours.

Step 2
Dip the marinated thighs in egg beaten with salt, then coat in cornmeal and fry in oil until golden brown. Check doneness by piercing—the juices should be completely clear. If necessary, finish cooking the chicken in the oven. Keep warm.
