Top Spots For Chicken And Waffles In South Florida

It's a dish that combines the different tastes of salty and sweet. Chicken and waffles has been a soul food staple menu item since the 1930s in Harlem when the meal would be a late night "belly-filler" for musicians after work. Imagine fried chicken that is breaded with spices, drumsticks, thighs and breasts soak in those spices during the cooking process and then they are placed upon flaky waffles that are swimming in hearty maple syrup. It is a meal that anyone will remember for the next month and wish to return again and again till the weight scale tells them to stop. South Florida has restaurants which offer chicken and waffles and customers should eschew the usual burger, wings and nacho platter to indulge in this classic.
