Hopewell Bar & Kitchen ups the brunch ante with its Southern-style chicken and waffles, serving
country-fried chicken wings atop a waffle made with doughnut batter—something the kitchen decided to try when experimenting with housemade doughnuts. “It seemed so obvious in retrospect,” says Red Paint Hospitality Group executive chef Josh Davis. The treat complements wings that are cooked confit-style and rubbed with spices like cayenne pepper and paprika before getting covered to order in seasoned flour and fried until crispy. A side of housemade buttermilk ranch and a drizzle of maple Sriracha sauce round out the dish. “Fried chicken is sort of having a moment right now,” Davis says, also noting Hopewell’s buttermilk-fried chicken thigh sandwich, “so we adapted the concept to fit wings, and a new classic was born.”
$10 at Hopewell Bar & Kitchen, 1277 Comm. Ave., Boston (617-208-8925) hopewellboston.com
