Local Farm Market's chicken and waffles features Liege-style waffles and pickled chicken. The Liege waffles are made with batter containing yeast and pearled sugar, which caramelize during cooking. The boneless, skinless chicken thighs are marinated in pickle juice for over 24 hours, then dipped in buttermilk and coated with a mixture of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, thyme, black pepper, and salt before frying until golden and crispy.
