Bill Brodsky still remembers his first mouth-watering plate of chicken and waffles, served nearly two decades ago at an Alabama diner during a trip from Dallas to South Carolina. He’s been experimenting with it ever since, landing his latest version at Southern Kin, one of the Boston Nightlife Ventures restaurants where he serves as culinary director. The chicken is brined, soaked in buttermilk and dredged in a light breading before it’s pressure-fried. It sits atop a cheddar-chive buttermilk waffle and adds a burst of flavor from Fresno chili pepper-infused maple syrup and a housemade Louisiana honey hot sauce. “By adding some different complementary pops of flavor to the dish,” Brodsky says, “it helps keep it interesting from start to finish.”
