From Sparrow’s weekend brunch menu, the Fried Chicken and Waffles is the classic sweet-and-savory brunch pairing done right ($19).
About the Dish
This plate brings together homemade waffles and a fried chicken thigh from Draper Valley. The waffles are made in house, and using a chicken thigh rather than a leaner cut means the meat stays juicy under the crisp fried coating. It is a simple, satisfying combination of sweet and savory that has been a brunch staple for good reason, and the kind of plate that pairs well with a slow Kirkland weekend morning.
What to Drink With It
Fried chicken and a little fizz are a great match, so reach for the Veuve Clicquot to cut through the richness, or pour the Eroica Riesling if you want a touch of off-dry sweetness next to the savory chicken. Either one keeps the plate from feeling too heavy. See the Sparrow beverages menu for the full list, and remember weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 2 PM.
