Imagine a yummy meal that brings together crispy fried chicken and fluffy waffles! That's exactly what chicken and waffles is. It's a super popular dish in the United States, found in lots of restaurants. There are two main ways people enjoy this tasty combo: the "soul food" style and the "Pennsylvania Dutch" style.

Different Kinds of Chicken and Waffles

The Soul Food Style

The most famous type is called the "soul food" version. It features delicious fried chicken. This style usually comes with a sweet waffle, just like you'd have for breakfast. People often add yummy toppings like butter and syrup. It's super popular in places like Baltimore, Maryland.

The Pennsylvania Dutch Style

The Pennsylvania Dutch version is a bit different. It uses a plain waffle topped with tender, stewed chicken. Instead of syrup, this one comes with savory gravy. You'll often find this style in the Northeastern United States.
