These posts about a chicken gravy over waffles are new to me. I have seen
a few cooking shows about "Chicken and Waffles" in restaurants, starting
in a famous Harlem establishment and now served in a few other ethnic
style restaurants around the country. But from what I've read and seen has
consisted of regular waffles, with syrup and butter, served with fried chicken.
Sometimes another menu item is waffles with chicken liver gravy. I've never
seen any restaurant serve waffles with a chicken gravy.

But now I think I'm going to make up a batch and freeze it to use in camp
at Steppes Warlord with dutch oven biscuits. Mmmmm.

Thanks for the information.

Yers,
