Instructions
1

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of bourbon, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to create the glaze.

2

Season 4 chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then place them in a baking dish. Pour the maple-bourbon glaze over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated.

3

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

4

While the chicken is baking, prepare the sweet potato waffles by peeling and mashing 1 large sweet potato.

5

In a bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato with 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 cup of milk until smooth.

6

Preheat your waffle iron and pour the batter into it, cooking according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown.

7

For the spicy maple syrup, combine 1/4 cup of maple syrup with 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until well mixed.

8

Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. To serve, place a sweet potato waffle on each plate, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle with the spicy maple syrup.

9

Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
