For the Chicken:

4 boneless chicken breasts or thighs

2 packs ramen noodles (crushed, seasoning discarded)

½ cup flour

2 eggs, beaten

Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

Oil for frying

For the Spicy Maple Drizzle:

½ cup maple syrup

1–2 tsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)

Pinch of chili flakes (optional)

1 tbsp butter (for richness)

Crush ramen noodles and set aside in a shallow bowl.

Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge in flour, dip in egg, then press into crushed ramen to coat.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

In a small saucepan, heat maple syrup, hot sauce, chili flakes, and butter until warm and slightly thickened.

Serve chicken over waffles or slaw, and drizzle with the spicy maple sauce.
