In the food world, there are a plethora of fantastic combinations.
Chocolate and peanut butter, red beans and rice, hot fudge and ice cream, tortilla chips, and salsa are just a few.
Few things mix savory and sweet as well as chicken and waffles. Savory, juicy fried chicken and a sweet, fluffy waffle are a go-to staple for any meal of the day.

How are KFC’s Chicken and Waffles?
KFC is bringing back Chicken & Waffles for a limited time.
Let’s get the bar set to be fair. If you’ve ever been to a diner in the south, you know Chicken and Waffles are something special. Some come with special fruit butters, spiced maple syrup or white sausage gravy. This is not that. It’s fast food chicken and waffles.
The KFC chicken is just that – KFC chicken. KFC is smart enough to use dark meat with the two-piece combo. The tenders are fine, but juciy dark meat works better. The chicken is fine and even works well with the Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup.
The waffle, which is about the circumference of a cookie, is lacking. It’s crisp on the outside, which is good, and has a good initial flavor. However, it’s too doughy, which takes away from the meal.
In the end, it might serve you best to just buy KFC and toast up some Eggos or, just stick with the biscuit.
How are KFC’s Strawberry & Crème Pie Poppers?
KFC debuts Strawberry & Crème Pie Poppers to its menu for a limited time.
These are amazing. They are deep-fried. While you won’t get a perfect flaky crust, you will get a wonderful strawberry flavor with a hint of cream. They are also the perfect size to enjoy and share.
It’s the perfect summertime dessert to go with a chicken meal.
