3 In shallow bowl, mix 1/2 cup Bisquick mix and the chipotle powder. In another bowl, beat egg with fork. Dip chicken into egg mixture; coat with Bisquick mixture.
4 In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center and coating is golden brown. Meanwhile, in another small bowl, stir together Maple-Bourbon Butter ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
5 Heat waffle iron. In medium bowl, stir Beer Waffle ingredients until blended. Pour about 1 tablespoon batter onto center of each quarter of hot waffle iron. Close lid of waffle iron. Bake about 2 minutes or until steaming stops. Carefully remove waffles. Repeat with remaining batter, making 32 small waffles.

Expert Tips
Make these cute snacks or appetizers up to 1 day ahead of time and reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. Spread Maple-Bourbon Butter on waffles, and assemble just before serving.

Beer lovers may want to choose an ale or a more robust beer for these waffles. Those who prefer a milder taste should use light beer.
