The crunch of deep fried chicken. The sweet, buttery flavor of a waffle doused in maple syrup. For the ultimate marriage between savory and sweet, it’s hard to beat the combination of chicken and waffles at Kuzzo’s Chicken & Waffles in Detroit.

On our quest to find the best chicken tenders in metro Detroit, we had to try Kuzzo’s Tender Love combination. A deliciously dimpled waffle was accompanied by three juicy, hand-breaded chicken tenders. Rating: Two clucks up!

For a comfort food extravaganza, feast your eyes on Big Mama’s combo, our latest Pic of the Week. Kuzzo’s serves two pieces of mouthwatering chicken with three sides and a never-ending piece of cornbread. What took us by surprise was the rice and gravy side dish, a Louisiana staple (thanks, Google!). Though visually underwhelming, the seasoned gravy and fluffy rice made for a comforting dish like grandma would have made.

Kuzzo’s Chicken & Waffles is located at 19345 Livernois Ave, Detroit, MI 48221.
