Thanks for the recipe! those waffles look quite similar to how I make them, but with buttermilk instead of normal milk.
The chicken looks basically the same, I always do a buttermilk marinade. Obviously, friend chicken shouldn’t be dry it should be juicy and moist on the inside, and crispy on the outside. But the outer crispness is going to be a bit on the dry side, fatty and rich, but crunchy. The fact that people often have fried chicken with sauce or dip suggests it’s partially on the ‘dry’ end of spectrum.
All advice is good advice in a certain situation. “Trust your gut”/“be skeptical”, “be careful”/“go for it!” all of these can be good or terrible advice for different people at different times.
The problem with “just do it” is it’s often literally the first thing that everyone tries. If I want to do my homework or cook a healthy meal, it’d be pretty weird if I started off by trying to not do it. So, often when it’s given as advice it feels very insulting, because it feels like your being literally told “have you considered doing the thing your trying to do?”
It can be shorthand for much better advice - “don’t think about the consequences or costs, just focus on this moment and the first step you need to take” or whatever, but when delivered to someone who is literally struggling to do something it often adds nothing. “be careful” is good advice if someone’s carelessly approaching a dangerous, delicate task, but is shitty, vacuous advice if someone is already being very careful. So telling someone to “just do it” suggests you think that they weren’t previously attempting to do it, and that can give offense.
