Seal the bag, place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to marinate. Take out of fridge for at least 15 minutes prior to frying so it can come to room temperature.

- Carefully place all the coated Chicken once at a time into the hot oil and deep fry for 5 - 6 minutes.
- Remove, drain on a paper towel lined plate and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
- Add the Chicken back to the hot oil once more this time for 4 - 5 minutes or until golden brown, remove, drain and keep warm in 300°F oven until ready to serve.
For the Waffles:
- In a bowl, mix together Bisquick/Baking Mix, Egg, Milk, Oil, Salt & Pepper and your favorite shredded cheese. Mix well.
- Heat waffle iron, spray with cooking spray, pour about 1/4 cup or recommended amount of batter for your waffle iron, so that you don't have a spill over, close cover and cook for about 4 - 5 minutes or until just golden.
For the Dressing:
