Ingredients

Mac-N-Cheese and Chicken Ingredients

Preparation

Preparation Steps

1. Cook the Pasta

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Make the Cheese Sauce

In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a simmer, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in cheddar and mozzarella cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Combine Pasta and Cheese Sauce

Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, mixing until well combined. Transfer to a baking dish.

4. Prepare the Fried Chicken

Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken drumstick first in flour, then in egg, and finally in panko breadcrumbs.

5. Fry the Chicken

In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken drumsticks and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

6. Assemble the Dish

Top the mac-n-cheese with crumbled bacon and place the fried chicken drumstick on top. Drizzle with your choice of hot sauce.

7. Serve

Serve hot and enjoy your Angry Yard Bird Mac-n-Cheese!
