Gently add coated tenders into hot oil and turning them halfway through fry until golden, crisp and cooked through. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with remaining chicken tenders. For the waffles, add plain flour, salt, coarse black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar and baking powder into a bowl and stir well. In another bowl whisk together eggs, milk and melted butter. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined.

Scoop the batter into your waffle iron in batches and cook according to the manufacturer’s directions. To serve, place fried chicken tenders on top of a waffle. Pour maple syrup over everything, garnish with spring onions and serve immediately.
