I know what you are thinking – these foods are oppostie ends of the spectrum! But trust me, the flavor combo is a match.
The sweet and savory combination of red velvet waffle batter and chicken wings make for an amazing snack or even meal.
The waffle batter is super easy as it come from a box. I love red velvet cake mix as it adds a nice vibrant hue to it. Then all you have to do is dip your fried chicken wings into the mix and pop them in the waffle iron until they are perfectly crisp.
To serve these delicious red velvet waffle chicken wings, I suggest pairing them with a cool ranch sauce made with mayo and buttermilk or something similar. This helps balance out their sweetness. Or, you could top with your favourite syrup.
This dish is delicious and flavorful and guaranteed to satisfy even the most discriminating palate. So grab your ingredients and let’s get cooking!
