fried chicken:
In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs with the water. Add hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange. In another bowl, combine the flour and pepper. Season the chicken with the salt, garlic and pepper. Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour mixture.
Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil.
Fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. It should take dark meat about 13 to 14 minutes, white meat around 8 to 10 minutes.
waffles:
In a large mixing bowl, mix water and yeast. Let stand to dissolve for 5 minutes
Add milk, butter, salt, sugar, and flour to the bowl and blend until smooth and blended. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand, on the counter, overnight.
In the morning, beat in the eggs and the baking soda, stir until well mixed. Don’t worry, the batter is supposed to be very thin. Pour about ½ cup batter into the waffle iron and bake until golden and crisp.
TO SERVE: Place a hot waffle on the dish, add a few pieces of fried chicken and drizzle with lots and lots of maple syrup.
