4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

5. Spray the basket lightly with oil spray.

7. Cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy and chicken reaches 165°F internally.

8. Toast or warm St Pierre Belgian Waffles according to package directions.

9. Place a waffle on a plate, top with crispy chicken, and drizzle generously with warm maple syrup or hot honey and dig in.
