Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you do not have a waffle iron, you can cook the batter in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes.
• To ensure your chicken is cooked through, check it with a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
• If you are using a non-stick skillet, be sure to use a spatula to turn the chicken instead of a fork, to avoid scratching the surface.
