I’m back at Her Chef, because I’m craving something quick and hearty before Sunday afternoon badminton. I’ve been exercising a ton lately, mostly to get rid of all the excess fat from eating out over summer, so it feels like today should be Cheat Day. I’m here for another of Her Chef’s interesting dishes, the chicken croffle. The crispiness and butteriness of a croissant in waffle form, this is touted by the chef as “brunch perfection”, and I wholeheartedly agree. Even as it’s cooking, I can smell the aroma of cooking butter emanating from the kitchen. I am so looking forward to this.

Chicken croffle: Buttery croissant in a form of a fluffy waffle, served with crispy chicken and home-made honey mustard sauce
There’s something amazing about the way Koreans fry their chicken. Texturally perfect, crispy on the outside, and juicy and tender on the inside, it’s also full of flavour. The croffle itself is a culinary wonder, and although the combination of chicken, honey mustard and icing sugar looks strange, everything comes together beautifully. Really my only complaint is that I want more croffle, a half is not enough to go with all that chicken.
