This Buffalo chicken mac and cheese recipe was first introduced to me at my local ballpark, and I thought it was a great idea! This is what I whipped up. Serve with celery sticks and beer. Let me know what you think.

Ingredients

  • 1 , 16 ounce
  • 1 rotisserie-roasted chicken
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 0.5 cups hot sauce , such as Frank's® Redhot®
  • 0.5 cups crumbled gorgonzola cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.

  2. 2

    Cut wings and legs off rotisserie chicken. Remove skin and bones from wings and legs; chop or shred dark meat into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour until a thick paste forms. Cook until golden, about 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Pour in milk, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook and stir until sauce is smooth, about 1 minute more. Reduce heat and season with pepper.

  5. 5

    Stir Cheddar and Monterey Jack into the sauce until melted and combined.

  6. 6

    Stir in hot sauce to the desired level of spiciness.

  7. 7

    Add Gorgonzola, chicken, and macaroni; mix well to combine.

  8. 8

    Serve hot and enjoy!
