\"KFC<\/p>\n

As I wiped the sticky syrup from my fingers using the convenient wet towelette included with my meal, I have to admit I cracked a deeply disturbing yet wholly satisfied smile. Chicken and waffles seem like such a decades-old bandwagon to jump on. The fact that KFC was actually able to create a seasonal masterwork like this has to be a minor holiday miracle, right?<\/p>\n

Having sampled this famed coupling all the way from small local diners to the grandfather of them all, Roscoe\u2019s Chicken and Waffles in L.A., no two recipes are ever the same, with KFC falling completely in line.<\/p>\n

\"KFC<\/p>\n

Combining two of the Original Recipe varieties of chicken \u2014 a drumstick and thigh, if you will \u2014 with a very thick and very heavy mini-waffle, KFC has shined its populous light on a rare dining treat that many people are curious about but might not ever a chance to otherwise enjoy. <\/p>\n

Of course, we know that KFC\u2019s chicken is usually tops in this mother-clucking business, so we\u2019ll skip all that for now. The real surprise, the real focus here, has got to be the beautifully vanilla-sweet waffle, a delectable pill that tastes more like a pressed piece of sheet-cake than the archetypical breakfast side. All that\u2019s missing is a heavy dollop of whipped cream.<\/p>\n

\"KFC<\/p>\n

After tearing open my single-serve cup of Mrs. Butterworth\u2019s, I coated back and forth the good-looking eats laid out before me. The runny guzzle of the much-loved pancake topping puddled at the bottom of the black container, letting the chicken and waffles soak in its sugars for a few mouth-teasing minutes. <\/p>\n

The thick syrup made the dense waffle into something like a dunked doughnut, soft but sticky and ready to get your fingers dirty. And while that is expected when it comes to waffles, I wasn\u2019t prepared for how the same chemical reaction \u2014 both mentally and physically \u2014 would work with the Original Recipe chicken. Who could or would have ever guessed just how much the toothsome syrup made a perfect marriage partner with the highly trademarked chicken.<\/p>\n

While I ordered the two pieces with one waffle, there was a part of me that wished I had also ordered the delectable looking Hot Honey Chicken Tender Sandwich that uses the brave little waffles as a top and bottom. To Hell with you, Double Down! Leaving the KFC, maybe next time I thought, maybe next time. C\u00f3mpralo ya!<\/em><\/p>\n
