Buffalo Chicken Mac Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Cook the Pasta

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

2

Make the Cheese Sauce

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

3

Add Cheeses

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the sharp cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4

Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked macaroni, shredded chicken, and Frank’s RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce to the cheese sauce. Stir until everything is well combined.

5

Serve

Transfer the Buffalo Chicken Mac to a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve warm.
