Make

Heat oven to 425F / 218C. Preheat waffle maker.
Line a sheet pan with foil. Brush lightly with some oil (not listed). Melt butter and toss with crushed cornflakes. Brush off excess buttermilk and transfer chicken one piece at a time into cornflakes. Seal bag and shake until chicken is coated. Place crusted chicken onto sheet pan. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and golden. Flip chicken midway through.
Following your waffle maker instructions, pour batter into waffle maker (you may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your waffle maker). Bake waffles to your liking.
When chicken and waffles are done, toss greens with vinaigrette. Serve chicken and waffles with maple syrup and greens on the side.
