What is National Chicken And Waffles Day?
On October 20th, we celebrate National Chicken and Waffles Day, with Savory and sweet collide for a soulful celebration of flavor. Imagine a world where every spice and spirit's ingredients make their way into the honeycombs of thick and crispy waffles. Well, the day has come.
#chickenandwafflesday
This quintessential meal of the rural south from Los Angeles to NYC brought a slow migration from LA to NYC, which then spread to the urban areas to the north and west. Chicken and waffles have been around for more than 150 years, as strange as it is. And although no one knows who first put chicken and waffles on the same plate together, we do know that the dish was a staple of both African-American cooks and the Pennsylvania Dutch. Anyone can enjoy Chicken and Waffles any time of the day, as part of the supper portion.
The meal also has some hearty dishes. Our only limitation is our imaginations. Not only does #ChickenAndWafflesDay bring together two food groups, but it also unites others. For example, friends and families, communities, and organizations, as well as multiple generations.
