In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, ½ cup panko breadcrumbs, egg, lemon juice, mayonnaise, parsley, garlic and onion powders, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Pour the remaining ½ cup panko breadcrumbs into a plate. Have another plate standing by.
Using wet hands, shape the mixture into four equal sized patties, roughly the size of the waffles. The mixture will be quite sticky. One at a time, place the patties on the plate with the panko and coat well on both sides, pressing the panko into the chicken patties. They are a little delicate at this point. Place on the clean plate until the rest are formed and coated.
Line another plate with paper towels. Pour enough oil into a large skillet to come up about ¼ inch and heat over medium heat. Carefully place two patties into the hot oil and cook for about 5 minutes per side or until deeply golden brown and the internal temperature of the patties is 165 degrees. If the outside is getting two browned before the chicken is cooked through, lower the heat. When done, place the cooked patties on the paper towel lined plate and repeat with the remaining two patties.
Toast the waffles per the package directions.
To serve, place one patty on top of each waffle, drizzle with hot honey, and top with coleslaw or pickles. Serve with extra hot honey on the side.
