Steps:
- 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, 8 minutes. Drain.
- Cut wings and legs off rotisserie chicken. Skin and bone wings and legs; chop or shred dark meat into bite-size pieces.
- Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Whisk in flour gradually until a thick paste forms. Cook until golden, about 1 minute. Pour in milk, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook until sauce is smooth, about 1 minute more. Reduce heat and season sauce with black pepper.
- Stir Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese into the sauce until melted and combined. Stir in hot sauce, adjusting to reach desired level of spiciness. Add blue cheese, chicken, and macaroni; mix well to combine.

ANNMARIE'S BUFFALO CHICKEN WING MAC AND CHEESE
Two of our favorite foods - Buffalo chicken and macaroni and cheese - come together in this delicious comfort food dish. The mac and cheese part is creamy and super cheesy. We love the kick of spice from the Buffalo chicken. You taste the Buffalo flavor in every bite. If you like your Buffalo wings a little spicy, drizzle a bit of extra sauce on top when serving. Your family and friends are going to love this dinner.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut raw chicken breasts into small chunks and fry in a good olive or canola oil over medium heat until no longer pink. No need to brown, just make sure the breast chunks are cooked and still juicy. Drain chunks from pan and place in a bowl with 1/3 cup of Frank's Hot Sauce and allow to blend. In the meantime, begin boiling a pot of salted water for your pasta and bring to a rolling boil.
- Pour 1/2 and 1/2 in medium-sized saucepan and add Wondra Flour. Mix well while still cold and begin warming over medium heat. Add 1/2 stick of butter and bring to a gentle low boil. Once milk and butter mixture begins to slightly boil, turn the temperature down to low and continue to stir. Begin adding your cups of both Monterey and Colby Jack cheese to the saucepan and occasionally stir until melted and well blended. Remove from heat.
- Cook pasta according to package, drain and rinse well.
- Return pasta to its pot. Add cheese sauce and marinated chicken chunks.
- Blend well and spread evenly in a greased 9 x 13 pan.
- Add shredded cheddar cheese to the top of dish and place in the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes. (Just enough until cheddar cheese melts and pasta is lightly brown on the ends). Remove from the oven and let stand for five minutes.
- Sprinkle with chopped scallions and serve with a green tossed salad.
ANNMARIE'S BUFFALO CHICKEN WING MAC AND CHEESE
As one who lived in the suburbs of Buffalo for almost a decade, I couldn't get enough of buffalo wings, beef on wecks and fish fry's. All of the above are notoriously famous in Buffalo. Being a chicken wing and pasta lover, I decided to create a comfort food dish for my husband Chris during the fall. It's a nice change for an entree during the football season. It's been a hit both at home and at work. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!!!! P.S. As this is a true "comfort" food, calories aren't counted. :)
