Hot Honey Chicken and Mac Waffle

1.Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

2.Prepare the Cracker Barrel Sharp Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese according to the package directions, using 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of butter. Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly.

3.In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.

4.Add 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy but without dry flour pockets.

5.Fold in the prepared macaroni and cheese into the waffle batter until evenly distributed.

6.Spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour an appropriate amount of the mac and cheese batter into the waffle iron (about 1 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron) and close the lid. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

7.While the waffles are cooking, bake the frozen chicken tenders according to package instructions until crispy and heated through, typically around 20-25 minutes.

8.Once the waffles are done, remove them from the waffle iron and place them on a serving plate. Top each waffle with 2-3 crispy chicken tenders.

9.Drizzle generously with Dave's Hot Honey over the chicken and waffles, ensuring even coverage for a sweet and spicy kick.

10.Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
