HEPP'S Chicken and Waffles Mini's
Who doesn't love chicken and waffles!! This recipe uses the same breading mixture and method as our avocado fries so if you are making one you might as well make them both. Be sure to dip the avocado in the dipping stations first. They can also be cooked together as well you just need to leave the chicken in the oven a little longer. These are sure to be a salty sweet crowd pleaser!!
*Cook up as many waffles and chicken fingers as needed. As a rule of thumb, 1 chicken finger will get you about 3-4 sliders.*
