It's a strange combination, and the first time I heard someone say they ordered chicken and waffles at a restaurant I did look at them like they had two heads.

Fast forward to 2019, and my friends and I go out to brunch before starting our fantasy football draft party, and low and behold literally everyone at the table ordered chicken and waffles.

The sweet and savory combo works perfectly and when you top it with a little hot honey it just really sets it off!

In Jersey, there are a lot of good spots to grab chicken and waffles.

I also hear Poppy's Place and Four Seasons Diner has a solid chicken and waffles option as well.

However, they do not have the best chicken and waffles in the state of New Jersey, at least according to experts.

You can find them at a diner in Northern New Jersey, and the chicken and waffle are served up with a massive Belgian waffle and half a fried chicken.

This place is well known for its massive portion sizes.

According to Love Food, the best chicken and waffles in the state of New Jersey can be found at Tops Diner in East Newark.
