This combination sounds strange to people who haven't tried it. Sweet maple-syrup waffle, crispy buttermilk fried chicken, hot sauce — it works because every bite hits all four flavours: sweet, salty, savoury, spicy. It became a staple of Canadian brunch culture through American influence, and now it's on every brunch menu from Toronto to Vancouver. Use your favourite waffle recipe or a mix from the grocery store, and pair it with the buttermilk fried chicken recipe from this site. The syrup should be the real stuff — pure Quebec maple, not table syrup.

Pro Tips

  • 💡Leftover chicken is the secret weapon for quick breakfasts — cook extra at dinner specifically for the next morning.
  • 💡Sharp cheddar cheese melts better than mild and has more flavour. Buy the block and shred it yourself.
  • 💡Keep a stack of tortillas in the fridge — they're the most versatile breakfast vessel.

Variations
