Hey,
Those look interesting, I have not seen or heard of them. I love chips and did try some of the Chicken and Waffles ones and thought they were really gross. It took me a good brushing of the teeth and eating something else to get that weird taste out of my mouth. The only thing I got from them was a hint of some chemical concoction that somewhat resembled syrup.

Peace

I assumed you were joking then for kicks I googled it.
Found this from NPR:
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/02/14/172019116/fried-chicken-and-waffles-the-dish-the-south-denied-as-its-own

"It's a Southern dish," Edge tells The Salt, "but a Southern dish once or twice removed from the South."

"It's a dish most popular among expatriate, African-American Southerners," he adds, "a dish most popular among Southerners now living in urban areas, whether that be the urban South or the urban West, in the case of Los Angeles, or the urban North, in the case of New York."

So is it breakfast or dinner? Edge says there are no rules – except that the chicken should be on the bone. He prefers the dish with dark meat, a drizzle of maple syrup and a hit of Tabasco.

As Edge recounts in his , both the East and West coasts get credit for popularizing fried chicken and waffles. In the 1930s, the combo was a signature offering at – a Harlem haunt that was a favorite of Sammy Davis Jr. and Nat King Cole. Out in Los Angeles, Roscoe's chain of soul food restaurants brought chicken and waffles to the Hollywood crowd starting in the 1970s.


Then I thought, OK that's not so weird. I've certainly had fried chicken dinners that included biscuits and honey. What's the difference?
