Notes
*I recommend looking at the package of chicken you purchased and baking for about 3 minutes less than the cooking time listed. Then, add the waffles and continue to bake until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165F.
*the number of chicken pieces in each bag will vary. If you've got some really large pieces, you can certainly cut them in half for a better "bite-sized" appearance.
