Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole milk
2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ½ cups macaroni, cooked for 2 minutes less than the package instructs
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
½ cup Frank's® RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce, plus more for serving
2 stalks celery
2 tablespoons ranch dressing
⅓ cup crumbled blue cheese
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
¼ cup scallion, sliced, green part only

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with nonstick spray.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently to break up any clumps, for 5 minutes, or until the roux is light golden brown. Reduce the heat to medium, then slowly pour in the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 8 minutes. Do not let the mixture come to a boil.
  • Remove the pot from the heat, add the mild cheddar cheese, and whisk until melted and smooth. Stir in the salt. Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and toss to coat well.
  • Transfer half of the mac and cheese mixture to the prepared skillet. Top with 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, then the remaining mac and cheese and remaining cup of sharp cheddar.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded rotisserie chicken and Frank's® RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce. Spoon on top of the mac and cheese.
  • Bake the mac and cheese for 30-35 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling around the edges of the pan. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes.
  • While the mac and cheese bakes, make the celery ribbons: Using a vegetable peeler, peel the backs of the celery stalks lengthwise into ribbons. Transfer the ribbons to a large bowl filled with ice water and let sit for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  • Drizzle the mac and cheese with more Frank's® RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce and the ranch dressing, then top with the crumbled blue cheese, red onion, scallions, and celery ribbons.
  • Enjoy!

This was the perfect comfort food! It was cheesy, creamy, and had just the right amount of heat from the buffalo sauce. I will definitely be making this again.

I thought this recipe was just okay. It was easy to make but the flavor was a bit bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a spicier buffalo sauce.

Disappointed. The recipe was easy to follow but the end result was just okay. The buffalo sauce didn't really come through and the mac and cheese was kind of dry.

This was so easy to make and it turned out delicious! I used a store-bought buffalo sauce and it worked perfectly. I also added some crumbled blue cheese on top, which really took it to the next level. Highly recommend!

Meh. I wasn't really impressed with this recipe. The buffalo sauce was too overpowering and the mac and cheese itself was bland. I won't be making this again.

This mac and cheese was a hit! It was creamy, cheesy, and had just the right amount of heat from the buffalo sauce. I added some extra shredded chicken to mine for some extra protein, and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this again!
