The odds

I love it when things stack up in my favor.
Like these homemade chicken tenders stacked upon those buttery waffles.
See what I mean?

Even when I have to do the stacking for myself! Chicken & Waffles are a perfect pair. It’s salty and sweet. A balance of tenderness and crunch. Satisfaction on a plate.
