Ingredients

Servings:6
  • 4 pieces Boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 lb Peeled crawfish tails
  • 2 cups Buttermilk
  • 3 tbsp Cajun seasoning blend
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Cornmeal
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Creole mustard
  • 1 tsp Horseradish
  • 4 cups Waffle batter (prepared)
  • 1 quart Peanut oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup Fresh chives(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the chicken thighs in buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning for at least 4 hours to ensure tenderness.

  2. 2

    Whisk together mayonnaise, Creole mustard, horseradish, and a pinch of Cajun seasoning to create the spicy remoulade; refrigerate until serving.

  3. 3

    In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, and the remaining Cajun seasoning to create the breading station.

  4. 4

    Heat peanut oil in a heavy cast-iron skillet to exactly 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  5. 5

    Dredge the marinated chicken in the flour mixture, then the crawfish tails, ensuring a thick, even coating on both.

  6. 6

    Fry the chicken thighs until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, then fry the crawfish tails separately for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.

  7. 7

    Prepare thick Belgian-style waffles using your batter, ensuring they are toasted to a deep golden brown to support the weight of the proteins.

  8. 8

    Stack the fried chicken on the waffle, top with a generous portion of fried crawfish, drizzle with the chilled remoulade, and garnish with fresh chives.
