Heat a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden brown on both sides. Set aside.
Make the waffles: Prepare waffle maker and brush oil on both sides. In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until smooth.
Pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto the waffle maker and close the lid. Cook until golden brown. Dust tops with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Repeat with remaining mixture.
