Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular bread crumbs instead of Shake’N’Bake?
Yes, regular bread crumbs can be used but the coating may not have the same seasoned flavor or crispiness. You can add your own spices to mimic Shake’N’Bake.
Can I substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative?
Yes, Greek yogurt can be substituted with a thick dairy-free yogurt like coconut or almond-based yogurt to keep the waffles moist and flavorful.
How can I ensure the chicken pieces are cooked through?
Cut chicken into uniform 1 inch pieces and bake until golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature is 165°F (74°C).
Can I make the waffles ahead of time?
Yes, waffles can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat in a toaster or waffle iron to restore crispiness.
What if I don't have a waffle iron?
You can cook the batter on a pancake griddle or non-stick pan to make low carb pancakes instead of waffles.
