Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use a regular waffle instead of the Disney waffle for the chicken waffle sandwich? Absolutely! While the Disney waffle adds a touch of the Magic Kingdom's enchantment, using your favorite waffle recipe or even store-bought waffles will still result in a delicious spicy chicken waffle experience.
- What can I substitute for sriracha in the sweet and spicy sauce? If sriracha is too spicy or not to your taste, honey mustard or a milder hot sauce mixed with a bit of honey can be great alternatives for a less spicy chicken waffle sandwich.
- Are there vegetarian options for the chicken waffle sandwich? Yes, for a vegetarian twist on the chicken waffle sandwich, consider using battered cauliflower or a store-bought vegetarian chicken patty. You'll still enjoy the sweet and spicy, crunchy, and creamy contrasts that make this sandwich a standout at Disney parks.
