I can't imagine eating chicken & waffles together. I have two best waffles. The first was a Belgian waffle at the Mendocino Hotel. If I weren't so full I might have ordered a second one.
A waffles is just another form of bread. You can eat fried chicken with slices of white bread, biscuits, crackers, etc. Why not a waffle? -I do know some people who keep the waffle and chicken separated when they eat "chicken and waffles".
The place I went to last week in Brooklyn, Waffle & Wolf, serves all of their sandwiches in freshly made waffles. It works quite well. It's like a waffle-taco or waffle-pita sandwich.
