The best chicken and waffles in Kentucky come from Joella's Hot Chicken in Louisville. The eatery is located at 3400 Frankfort Ave and 13401 Shelbyville Rd.

"With a modern, barn-like interior, Joella's Hot Chicken serves equally enticing dishes, including a superb plate of chicken and waffles. A choice of either fried tenders or wings, the chicken is served on homestyle waffles with maple syrup or spiked honey. Diners consistently praise the juicy interior and crispy exterior of the chicken as well as the flavorful waffles."
