Add all sauce ingredients (without chicken) to a small saucepan and bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes and stir. Remove from heat until cool.
Once cooled, add sauce and chicken to a large ziplock bag and let it marinate in the fridge for at least a few hours, I like to make it in the morning and let it sit all day.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a shallow roasting pan or 9×13 dish with aluminum foil, do not skip this part.
Lay marinated chicken on pan in a single layer and pour sauce over each one. Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until fully cooked and browned. Baste with juices from pan every 10 minutes while baking.
If you like extra sauce, like my husband, combine extra maple syrup, soy sauce, and orange juice with a little cornstarch over medium heat until thickened.

Whisk together buttermilk and eggs until thoroughly combined. Add the mashed potatoes, softened butter, and 2 tablespoons chives and gently stir to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Use a spoon to mix until all of the flour is just combined. Try not to over mix the batter.
Heat a waffle iron and grease.
Dollop batter (about 1/4 cup per waffle) into the waffle iron. Cook until golden on each side. The amount of time depends on your waffle iron. Remove waffles from the iron and place on a cooling rack to rest. The cooling rack will keep the waffles from getting soggy on the bottom as they cool.
Just before serving the waffles, turn oven to the broiler setting. Place waffles on a baking sheet and top with cheddar cheese. Place waffles under the broiler until cheese is melted, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with remaining chives and serve warm (with salsa is delicious!).
