The Chicken and Waffle Cone - DudeFoods.com - Food Recipes & Videos (2024)

I love chicken and waffles, so I’m always looking for new and creative ways to combine the two foods. Back in January I created chicken and waffle wings, which are chicken wings that are breaded with actual waffles. The resulting blog post was by far the most popular story I’ve ever written.

Recently I bought a waffle cone maker. The idea behind my purchase wasn’t to make sugary waffle cones to fill with ice cream though. What I really wanted to do with it is make waffle cones out of actual waffle batter so I could fill them with pieces of popcorn chicken. Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the chicken and waffle cone!

Now, the popcorn chicken part of this thing is easy. You can get popcorn chicken pretty much anywhere. The tricky part is cooking your waffle perfectly. As you can imagine, waffle cone makers aren’t exactly made to be used with actual waffle batter, so I ran into a couple problems.

The main problem is that if the waffle batter is too thick or if you cook it for too long your waffle will break apart when you try rolling it into a cone. My first couple waffles weren’t quite thin enough because I didn’t press the top of the waffle cone maker down hard enough after adding the batter, so if you want a perfect waffle cone maker sure you apply ample pressure.

In the end I finally got my batter to the perfect consistency by just adding a little extra milk. I also only cooked my waffles for a minute and 15 seconds (the instructions recommended a minute and a half) because I found that any longer than that and the edges wouldn’t stay together when I rolled them into cones.

Don’t worry if you mess up though because if you do all you’re really left with are some round waffles that are sort of a cross between regular waffles and pancakes. It took me four tries before I got my waffle cone perfect, which in turn means I got to eat four messed up waffles— not a bad problem to have at all….

Once you finally make the perfect waffle cone, fill it with popcorn chicken and drizzle it with syrup it’s quite a treat. This is another one of those foods that I can totally imagine vendors selling at state fairs all over the country this summer. In fact, maybe I should just open up a stand at the Wisconsin State Fair. I could sell chicken and waffle cones, deep friend lasagna, dessert cheese curds and maybe even slices of the mac and cheese pie with a bacon crust that I made.

      Thanks for reading! I’m not sure where my inspiration comes from really. Usually ideas will just come to me and then I write them down until I have time to make them, but sometimes I’m just walking through the grocery store and I see something that looks interesting and I get ideas that way.

        I find myself thinking that the waffle cone part would be easier for me to find / make, compared to the popcorn chicken which is hard to find here in The Netherlands. We have KFC, but the ones i have visted do not have it. I can’t think of any other place here that would sell em’. 🙁

        You wouldn’t happen to have a popcorn chicken recipe lying around somewhere, he?

          I’ve actually never even tried making my own popcorn chicken since it’s pretty easy to find over here, but this recipe seems pretty easy so you could try giving it a shot if you wanted to make some.

    Get your practice on at the Wisconsin State Fair, then come down here a month later for the Tulsa State Fair. We get so left out it seems when it comes to neat food. That darn Texas State Fair in Dallas runs at the same time and steals all the goodies. :/ Anyway dudefood had a story in the TulsaWorld paper so see you already have a hookup. lol

FAQs

Why are my homemade waffle cones soggy? ›

The waffle cones and bowls are extremely susceptible to the effects of humidity, and can begin softening in as little as 15 minutes if left in the open. Likewise, if stored in a container while warm, the waffle cones and bowls may steam themselves and soften.

What is the difference between a waffle maker and a waffle cone maker? ›

The difference between these waffle makers is the shape and size of the waffles their grids produce. For instance, Belgian waffles are around 2.5 cm thick, waffle cones are thinner, and bubble waffles have bubbles or puffs instead of deep pockets.

What flavor is waffle cone? ›

The waffle cone is a classic. Waffle cones are medium to deep caramel brown color, sugar-flavored, pointed waffle-style cone with a crunchy texture. They are pressed in a special waffle iron and rolled to perfection. They have a pointy bottom and wide mouth to hold more ice cream—and who doesn't love that?

Why are my drumstick cones not crunchy? ›

DRUMSTICK® Cone is Chewy and Soggy

Unfortunately, temperatures fluctuations for any length of time can impact the quality of the product and the crispiness of the cone. Over time, ice crystals may form, melt and transfer through the chocolate coating and into the wafer cone, making it soggy.

Why are my homemade waffles not crispy? ›

Not waiting until the iron heats up properly means your waffles will cook, but never achieve that satisfyingly crisp exterior. Overworking the batter will leave your waffles dense and chewy instead of light and airy. And stacking even the most perfect waffles will cause them to become soggy and limp in minutes.

Should waffle cones be refrigerated? ›

It's important to know how to store waffle cones because they'll start to sweat together and get soggy if they're stored warm. Wait until the cones have reached room temperature and then store them. This is the only way to ensure waffle cones maintain their crispness and still have that "crunch" days later.

What is the best temperature for a waffle cone? ›

(Recommended time & temperature: 400°F for 1.5-1.75 mins.)

What are waffles with small squares called? ›

Similar to Belgian waffle makers, Brussels waffle makers create waffles with deep pockets and light, crispy textures. The distinction between the two lies in their grid shapes. Unlike the round or circular grids typically found in Belgian waffle makers, Brussels waffle makers feature a rectangular or square grid shape.

What are thin waffles called? ›

A stroopwafel (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈstroːpˌʋaːfəl]; lit. 'syrup waffle') is a thin, round waffle cookie made from two layers of sweet baked dough held together by syrup filling.

Does Wendy's have waffle cones? ›

By pairing its classic sweet treat with a crispy waffle cone, Wendy's improves on perfection by making sweet moments even sweeter. From the first lick to the last crunch, the Frosty Waffle Cone is a tantalizing treat meant to be savored.

What is the color code for waffle cone? ›

The RGB values for Dunn Edwards DE5444 Waffle Cone are 222, 187, 116 and the HEX code is #DEBB74.

Why do waffle cones taste so good? ›

Waffle Cone. For a unique appearance and texture of ice cream servings, a waffle cone blends cake and pastry flour to produce a sweet and crunchy flavor. Adding molasses or dark brown sugar to your cone batter provides crispy, syrupy qualities, while fiber increases strength and reduces breakage.

How do you fix soggy waffle cones? ›

Here's what to do: Stand up your cones in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds on high. Let cool a few minutes, and they'll be nice and crisp again. They won't taste quite as good they did fresh…

How to re-crisp ice cream cones? ›

To re-crisp the cones preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Working with one cone at a time, unroll the cone until it is a circle again, place on a baking sheet and bake for about 3-5 minutes or until the crepe is hot and soft.

Why is my cone soft? ›

Moisture. It is the enemy of crispiness. Either moisture is being introduced to your freshly cooked cones or there is enough residual moisture remaining in the cones to undermine their ability to remain crisp.
