It’s no wonder that Tuc Craft Kitchen’s crispy fried chicken and waffles is a brunch crowd favourite.

Comprised of tender buttermilk fried chicken strips and a light, golden waffle, Tableau’s take on this comfort-driven dish is mouthwateringly good. The chicken is crisp, moist, delightfully seasoned and matched perfectly with the dish’s two accompanying potted sauces, maple syrup and gravy, which when mixed together create the perfect sweet and savoury combo.
