Preparation

Cut chicken into 3 cm strips. Mix buttermilk, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a bowl, turn chicken in it and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Mix flour, paprika, garlic powder and remaining salt on a plate. Lift chicken from buttermilk, let excess drip off and firmly coat all sides in flour mixture.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 170C. Without a thermometer, test a tiny drop of batter: it should sizzle quietly at once without turning dark. Fry chicken in batches for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels; meat must be white inside or reach 74C.
Meanwhile, preheat waffle iron. Cook waffle batter according to packet instructions in the lightly oiled iron until each waffle is golden and crisp.
Put waffles on plates, top with chicken and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately.
