• Make sure to fully cook the ground chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure it is safe to eat.
• If you don't have a waffle iron, you can also make pancakes with the batter and serve the chicken on top.

• Leftover chicken and waffles can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, warm the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. Reheat the waffles in a toaster or oven until crispy.
