The Daily Meal is spending football season getting favorite game-day and tailgating recipes from chef supporters of Taste of the NFL. This week, John Seymour, the restaurateur and owner of Sweet Chick, shares his recipe for buffalo chicken & waffles. A native New Yorker and life-long New York Jets fan, John enjoys watching his favorite New York team while noshing on one of his favorite New York dishes: Chicken & Waffles. “What I love about this dish is that you can enjoy it plain but it’s a great vehicle for all types of flavors and variations.” To give this game-day meal a flavor that punts right off the plate, John likes to prepare his fried chicken with buffalo sauce. (Tip: Panther fans might want to opt for Carolina BBQ sauce instead or Titan fans for some cayenne-laced Nashville hot fried chicken).

The recipe was shared with us by chef John Johnson, from the Four Season's New York's Garden Restaurant. His uncle Leo, from North Carolina, would take John camping when he was a boy during the summer, and at least once during the trip Uncle Leo would fry up a large batch of chicken, and would serve it with a sweet syrup, hot sauce, and a squeeze of fresh lemon based dipping sauce. Chef Johnson dug into his nostalgic past and decided to take his Uncle Leo's idea and place it on The Garden menu.
