Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix until just combined (don’t overmix). Optional: fold in shredded cheddar for extra cheesy waffles.
Preheat your waffle iron and grease lightly. Pour batter to form the first layer and cook until lightly golden. Remove and continue until you have enough waffles to assemble sandwiches.
In a bowl, combine chicken, cheddar, bacon, cream cheese, mayo/butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and chives. Mix well — it should be moist and cheesy.
Heat the waffle iron again and spray with oil. Place one waffle inside. Spoon a generous layer of cheddar chicken mixture evenly across the waffle. Top with another waffle. Close the waffle maker and cook 2–4 minutes until cheese is fully melted, edges are crispy, and waffle is deeply golden.
Slice into squares and garnish with fresh chives. Serve hot with hot honey, maple syrup, ranch, BBQ sauce, or spicy mayo.

Notes

For extra cheesy waffles, add shredded cheddar to the batter.
Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients.
Serve immediately for the best texture.
