Chicken and Waffles motherfuckers! Damn its so legit! I'll try those chips right quick.

Cheesy garlic bread and rooster sauce chips might be interesting too. Damnit Lays.

I'm now recalling the mystery flavours promotion they had and wondering what the flavours actually *were*.

America's stuff with crisps is really weird. There's so few flavours and they're generally bland - heck, it's not that common to find salt and vinegar out there. Salt and vinegar, dammit! My brother-in-law is a New Yorker and when he came over he was amazed at the range of flavours of crisps in even an average newsagent's.

Depends on the stores you go to, really

I don't even understand Chicken & Waffles. I won't knock it, I just don't understand it. Are they plain waffles or do you smother them in maple syrup and butter like you would eating waffles on their own? Do you eat the chicken separately, or is the idea for each bite to include some waffle and chicken at once? Is this a fork-and-knife affair like most waffles, or do you use the waffles as some kind of bread for a chicken sandwich? The chicken is fried, I'm assuming.

Go to better stores. I see a wide variety of chips all the time down here in the DC metro area. Salt & Vinegar is extremely common, but I'm more partial to Sour Cream & Onion.

And yet still no Ketchup flavor in USA :(

It exists, I've seen 'em. They're uncommon, but they're out there. Pretty sure it's Herr's brand, which is less common around my usual haunts than Lay's (Walker's in the UK) or Utz (local-ish brand), though.

Dear god yes at the Sriracha chips.

Sriracha goes great with everything. Tofu, Mac and Cheese, Hummus, Peanut Butter, whatever, I'm sure it'll be the best potato chips around too.

This thread encouraged me to put some sriracha on some plain chips. Pretty yum.

So I want one of the other flavours. I can always make the sriracha chips myself.

They are eaten together with syrup and/or butter.

Syrup, butter and hot sauce. All over everything.

Syrup, butter, hot sauce. Waffles can be plain, though I've had some ones made with cornmeal so that they were more like a johnnycake in flavor. Chicken is fried obviously and you eat the chicken and waffle together so that you get the sweet, salty and savory heat all in one bite. Yes, the waffle is kinda like bread if you want to think of it that way.

Again, plain waffles are not inherently sweet - it's what you put on it that makes it that way. A good plain waffle should remind you of fresh bread really.

This actually sounds kinda good - except I hate hot sauce, generally. Not the heat that comes from it (although I'm not that huge on spicy), but the taste of the sauce itself.

I had waffle-breaded fried chicken at Popeye's last weekend. It was really good.

I tried it today, not very good. You could hardly taste the waffle and the syrup was awful. The fries and biscuit made it worth $6 though

The hot sauce works well with both the butter (cools the heat) and the syrup (it lessens the vinegar taste). Kinda ends up like sweet chili sauce strangely...

Ok, i went down to the uni's store, to my surprise they had the Chicken & Waffle chips. I of course bought them... They really aren't that good. The flavor is pretty mellow, almost too mellow. I really don't see these lasting

Felt the opposite, though it does feel like they were mainly aiming for a syrup flavor
Rather liked them.

I also have a bag of the cheesy garlic bread but havent had any yet. Could not find a bag of the srirachi.
