We may not have the ever-popular American chain Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘n Waffles here in Singapore, but we sure do have a couple of spots that dish out the ultimate soul food–chicken and waffles–in generous portions no less. In this list, we offer nine restaurants which will definitely satiate your hankering for deep-fried chicken and waffles.
Chix Hot Chicken
Previously only available as a weekend menu item, Chix Hot Chicken which specialises in serving Nashville-style hot chicken has introduced the Chix & Waffles to its main menu so all may indulge in some spicy fried chicken and waffles any day of the week. But that’s not the best part. Since the cafe is a fried chicken restaurant after all, Chix allows you to choose your choice of chicken to pair with the delicious waffle slices. So if you don’t want to get messy with the dry rub thigh or wings, you can always opt for the tenders instead.
Dewgather
Here’s a Melbourne-inspired cafe serving fried chicken and waffles with a Korean twist. Paired with refreshing pickled daikon and kimchi, the buttermilk fried chicken holds up well even as you dig into the uber crispy base first.
