Southerners Try Each Other's Chicken & Waffles

somebody would appreciate this and it's like baby make this for me um i'm not that woman i'm not a woman i'm not that woman [Music] my name is ashley scott morris i'm from jackson tennessee we're a small town a pretty mighty town in the middle of memphis and nashville tennessee so my name is matthew i'm from long beach um grew up with my grandmother she was from louisiana she taught me everything there was to know about southern cooking i am kimberly forbes i am from a very small town in georgia called livonia georgia which is about our 20 hour 30 north east of atlanta my grandma was like when i was a little kid you learn how to cook because you might not find a woman going to be able to cook the things you might want to eat you know growing up because you're a big boy something that will definitely get you in trouble with southern cooking is skimping on the seasoning if it's calling for whole milk and pure butter you better use whole milk and pure butter it's it's not the time to mess around what big mama said is what being mama see i mean my chicken and waffles is pretty good because it's flavorful it's a lot of different ingredients you got that southern flower right you know i'm saying add a little buttermilk you know season properly well and it's cooked you know what i'm saying from the heart you know this is stuff that my mom you know taught me how to get down i made the traditional waffle batter from scratch but what's different about mine is i actually use southern seasonings i use fresh herbs like rosemary thyme sage and fresh garlic onions and cilantro and then i fold pieces of fried chicken into it and chunks of cheese into my batter and cook it as one so like every bite you're getting a chunk of chicken or cheese or fresh herbs and i made a special uh peanut butter syrup so you're gonna get kind of spicy from the waffle and the chicken and sweet from the peanut butter and the syrup so for today i have prepared for you a chicken and waffle recipe that has been passed down just a wee bit i've done my own little take on it but the pista resistance or in the south they would say the good part honey is the fact that i made a caramelized pecan praline glaze i'm going to win because i think my dish is going to be the most creative and have the most flavor oh there's so much sauce what a chicken at this is like a fusion chicken and waffle type joint okay there's definitely some some l.a is that peanut butter why is there peanut butter looking pretty chisel i think i taste a little bit of it what chicken there's chicken on here where's the chicken i can't find the chicken at all in this muffin this ain't no southern chicken or waffle oh it's like a like an adventure all right okay look like the chicken is yeah see look like the chicken is infused in the waffle it's like something you know like you would see on like the food network this screams louisiana most definitely where it's just like we're gonna put it all together and we're just gonna we're gonna get what we get sit on down when i think of breakfast first i don't want to hunt for my food secondly i first thing in the morning oh my chest is hot i feel it jesus it's like a you know good you know rotational chicken and waffle like it was coming off like maybe like 10th off the bench or something wait hold up what is that what is it oh that's hard oh i would i would like to respectfully stop eating this i'm gonna give it a 6.8 i would say like a solid 6.2 that's like a a d with a little extra love my chicken and waffles is going to win today because i mean look at it man it looks like something your grandmama cooked i mean this is the old time recipes is good tastes good season probably you know i'm saying that smacking where you get you know that smack one is good that's what they're gonna get when they eat this chicken waffles [Music] okay okay this is looking yummy this is looking i can recognize everything right now what i'm automatically automatically drawn to is the color of this chicken like this this this one looks really good color but this one the color on it doesn't look at all it's got good crunch not too much crunch i'm not a huge fan of a lot of crunch i won't spit this out this chicken is not good at all bland dry this chicken is the bomb i'm sorry i'm gonna finish this chicken i'm hungry all right try to wobble um no more of that one definitely not a fluffy waffle oh you gotta stab it you gotta get up in it you gotta all right oop knock knock it's a bitter aftertaste can't figure out what it is almost taste like cough syrup at the end but they didn't they didn't add anything to the waffle so it's just like a bland waffle with some bland chicken on top um yeah this is this this dish isn't from the south at all this is tasting a little north carolina i'm i'm picking up some we're headed east this is a foul by all means now the chicken is like a nine if it had 8.5 not this waffle is bringing me down on a scale of one to ten this is a one so overall i would definitely give this a solid 7.4 [Music] i have the spirit of georgia behind me so you know what georgia is thriving right now and there is no way it can be beaten so get into these georgia pecans right now [Music] all right this looks like some kind of desserty kind of chicken you know i'm saying wow this is interesting the waffle it is like it's hard but it's like it's it's a good heart tastes like a you know eggo wobble and then the the syrup and the walnuts are like been uh like caramelized so it's like a caramelized so they probably put it over the pan it might be new orleans or somewhere you know with this pecan praline style a waffle i'm trying to think we're like next it's alabama tennessee like that ain't mississippi because a little bit of water or somewhere around there maybe georgia just because i see the nuts with the kind of little cluster going in would i order it again after i got it the first time no you know this ain't like mom and pop type uh chicken and waffles i never had this like i don't remember grandma coming up on saturday he's putting his effort she would make that waffle batter fry up that chicken in the fry daddy you can't even find a fry that anymore maybe with the pecans and everything on it i'll get where they was going with it but this is just purely just too sweet you go from sweet over here to like fried chicken like it doesn't all gel together i think the one thing about this like a lot of people want to come to like chicken and waffles they might not want walnuts and like a glamorized syrup or whatever but overall you know i mess with it this is way too much stuff on it like i don't know if the waffles are supposed to be the star or the walnuts i'm gonna give it a 8. i think it is a little too sweet after what they went right with the deaf one right with the chicken like i really liked the chicken a lot um what i what i think what they kind of went wrong with is just the improvement of the waffle was just like the sweetness of it and a little bit too much like walnuts the chicken was you know pretty good um too much too much nuts and stuff too much topping can't tell if it was about the nuts or about the waffle on a scale of one to ten i'd probably give it a a five [Music] you
