Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position the oven rack in the middle.
Toast or bake the waffles for about 5 minutes until slightly firm and then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Season with spices or hot sauce.
Grease a 9x13-inch dish and layer the waffle pieces and popcorn chicken. Pour the egg mixture over them.
Bake for approximately 45 minutes until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
