INGREDIENTS:
1 large egg
1 1/8 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 ounces leftover fried chicken meat with skin, coarsely chopped
Cooking spray
3/4 cup pure maple syrup

DIRECTIONS:
Beat egg in a large bowl. Whisk in buttermilk and melted butter until smooth. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to buttermilk mixture; whisk just until smooth. Fold in chopped chicken.
