We've scoured the city and have compiled a list of the best fried chicken and waffles in Toronto. The sweet and savoury combination of chicken and waffles makes for an incredible meal no matter what time of day. Between the crunchy crust of fried chicken and the soft pillowy waffle -- the duo is truly a match made in heaven. The origin of fried chicken and waffles is a bit of a contested one; with several theories circulating, it is hard to narrow down the exact details of the dishes history, but it is pretty unanimous that it does hail from America's south. No matter how the evolution of fried chicken and waffles came to be, we sure are glad that it did come into fruition. With that being said, here are the best restaurants for fried chicken and waffles in the city.
Yardbird and Waffles
You know you can trust the fried chicken at a restaurant that bills itself as Southern Creole and proclaims that north is the new south. Their Yardbird and Waffles ($15) on buttermilk bran waffles, comes smothered in bourbon maple syrup.
