Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese is a stovetop mac and cheese that is super creamy and spicy. Shredded cooked chicken gets mixed in making this a one dish meal. Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles, green onions, and more hot sauce on top for extra flavor.

This easy recipe can be made start to finish in under 20 minutes. Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese is the ultimate in creamy, cheesy, rich macaroni and cheese recipes. It is pure, indulgent comfort food.

Two kinds of cheese, Monterey Jack and cheddar are used for lots of cheese flavor. To make this mac and cheese super creamy, I added cream cheese and sour cream. They really make the sauce rich, thick, and creamy.

Tips For Making Buffalo Mac and Cheese

Use a rotisserie chicken for ease and convenience.Pretty much any shape of pasta can be used. Penne and shells work well.If you want it to be extra spicy, up the hot sauce from 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup and serve with extra hot sauce.I use Frank’s Hot Sauce, but you could use a different sauce.
Storage

Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days. If texture gets too dry, add a splash of milk before reheating in the microwave.
