Ingredients

Chicken

•  6 - 8 chicken wings
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups flour
• 1/2 pack saltine crackers, crushed (optional for crispy wings)
• 2 - 3 cups cooking oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
• 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for spicy wings)

Waffles

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoon butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons shortening
• 1/2 cup half and half
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Peach Cobbler Glaze

• 15 ounces (1 can) peaches in heavy syrup
• 1/2 bag frozen peaches (small bag)
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Recipe Notes

• A cast iron skillet is recommended for frying the chicken. That's how we do it down south.

• Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge.

Here's how to make it:

1. To make the fried chicken wings, heat the cooking oil in a cast iron skillet. Rinse the wings and season with 1 teaspoon each of the seasonings. Set aside.
2. Place the flour and crushed crackers (if using) in a plastic bag or on a plate. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of each seasoning. Mix well. Dredge the chicken wings in the flour mixture and place in the hot oil.
3. Cook the wings until done, about 15 minutes. Set aside when brown and crispy. 
4. For the waffles, combine the flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Stir to combine. 
5. Lightly beat the egg in another bowl. Add the sugar, butter and shortening and mix well with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the half and half, milk, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix well with a whisk.
6. Add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture and beat with a whisk until smooth. Set aside. At this point you can heat your waffle iron and spray with nonstick spray.
7. For the peach cobbler glaze, heat the butter in a saucepan. As the butter melts, add the can of peaches and about half a bag (or less) of frozen peaches. Add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla and bring to a slight boil for about 7 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings to your taste. 
8. Add the cornstarch to about 1/4 cup of water and mix well with fork to make cornstarch slurry. Pour it into the peach mixture. Simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. 
9. Spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup of waffle batter into the waffle iron and cook until nicely browned. Plate waffles, then chicken wings on the side and pour peach cobbler glaze over the waffles. Add a dollop of whipped cream in the center if you like.
