For hard gainers and heavy bulking phases: this is a calorie-maximum meal, not an everyday plate. Crispy pan-fried chicken thighs on whey-boosted waffles, with butter and a pour of syrup.
Mix the flour with the paprika, garlic powder and salt. Beat the egg in a shallow dish. Dip each thigh in egg, then press into the flour.
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat to about 175°C (350°F); a pinch of flour should sizzle. Fry the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until deep golden and 74°C (165°F) inside. Drain on a rack.
Preheat the waffle iron on medium-high and spray it.
Whisk the pancake mix and whey with water as the package directs, plus 2 extra tbsp, into a thick batter.
Cook the waffles for 4 to 5 minutes each, until golden and crisp. Keep warm in a 90°C (200°F) oven.
Top the waffles with butter and the chicken and pour over the syrup.
