I'm getting ready to show you guys just how easy it is to make .

Listen , this is just a buffalo chicken , mac and cheese .

Now listen , I don't wanna over talk it .

We gonna go over these ingredients .

So let's get it .

Now , I'm gonna start off by showing this to you right here like this look simple and don't forget you guys can see it right there and read it .

The full ingredient list will be down in the description box below .

Now , I'll start off salt and pepper , right ?

We gotta have butter , flour milk .

Then you got your powder right here .

You got garlic onion and this right here .

Is that dry mustard ?

Now , check this out right here .

You guys know about this , this , that Frank's red hot , you know this , that Wean sauce .

This is what we're gonna be using today .

You guys use your favorite .

This right here is gonna be my favorite .

This is the my , my ingredient of choice right here for the hot sauce , right ?

Sour cream mozzarella , cheddar cream cheese .

We got another thing of butter , panco chips and olive oil .

A super simple .

And again , I'm not gonna over talk it .

I can't wait to put this together so you guys can see just how easy it is to make .

Now let's get it .

OK ?

We just went over those ingredients .

Now let me just show you the two key things that you gotta have , right ?

You gotta have macaroni , which I've already boiled these and gotten these ready .

And then right here you can see this is my chicken .

I got it in water .

Only .

No extra , no nothing .

We just wanna go ahead and cook it .

So we just gonna boil it and we're gonna go from there .

OK ?

Now that we're here , we might as well go ahead and just set our oven .

All right , we're gonna go ahead and hit bake and we're gonna preheat it to 350 degrees .

OK ?

Look what you wanna do is you wanna get a pan and we wanna go ahead and melt our butter , right ?

I'm gonna go ahead and drop that in there .

All right .

And then once your butter is melted , you just wanna go ahead and start adding your flour and remember if you've been watching me , you know , we talk about making rules and stuff like that .

The key is you wanna keep everything moving right ?

So let me just go ahead and get this in here now .

You just wanna take your risk and just keep moving it around just like this right now .

I'm at 330 degrees .

Right ?

So I'm in between medium and a medium high .

Well , you wanna cook your flour a little bit just to get that raw flour taste out of it only takes about 30 to 45 seconds after you let that cook for just a second .

You wanna start introducing your milk .

Now we're just gonna order , put a little bit out of time just like you see .

And once we got this smooth , you don't see any more lumps .

You just wanna keep moving .

It just like this , just keep stirring it .

They'll eventually dissolve once that happens .

Then what you wanna do is you wanna go ahead and start adding the rest of your spices inside , you know .

So we almost there .

Yeah .

Now you'll notice the longer you keep this under the heat , the thicker it starts to get .

So you can see the texture starting to change .

I like that .

Now I'm gonna go ahead and add a little bit of pepper and a couple of pinches of salt .

To be honest with you .

Yeah .

Yeah .

Two pinches is just fine .

You can always add salt later .

You know , it's about watching our sodium , you know .

So we'll just continue to stir this , make sure it's blended and mixed .

Well , it should smell excellent to you right now .

OK .

So you see this right here .

Look at this texture .

This is what I like right here , just so you guys can see it .

This is what you're gonna be looking for .

Now , we're gonna go ahead and re reduce this down to a medium low .

Now , what I wanna do is let me get myself a myself a rubber , you know , a rubber spoon , right ?

So look , you see me , I put in that cream cheese , then the sour cream and now I'm coming with just look , notice I always tell you guys just put a little bit at a time when you're adding whatever , right ?

So you saw me put in just a little bit of the cheese that cheddar cheese .

Then I come back and just add a little bit more .

Now I'm using my whisk .

You guys can use whatever you wanna use , you know , to like stir it up .

But under the heat , you just want everything to just like that's a low heat also , you just want everything to just like melt .

And now I'm coming with that mozzarella and when you're looking at this right here , tell me what you guys are thinking once I give this a stir , look at how this is starting to work out .

Hey , under that heat it's gonna melt just right .

And that right there is a nice sauce .

Now , once you got it nice and creamy like this , all your cheeses and everything has melted and blended in together .

Go ahead and get your buffalo sauce , hot sauce or however you wanna do it and just go ahead and pour it in this way , just like you see for those of you guys that love them buffalo wings .

You know what I mean ?

Hey , this is a treat because just about everybody on the planet loves mac and cheese .

So look at this , you can see the color this right here should be working that brain of yours .

You know , telling the sending signals to your mouth to salivate and then look at this texture right here .

That's what you want .

That right there is a creamy buffalo sauce , you know cheese sauce .

Now go ahead and take , you know , once your chicken is done , you wanna just take two forks and just give it a shred .

If you want to cut it up in the cubes , that's up to you .

OK ?

Done shredding the the chicken .

Now we're just gonna go ahead and add this .

You can see it coming together .

Now , now you guys can cube them however you wanna do it , you know your chicken or your meat .

And now by now you gotta be thinking like , oh I could use anything I could have put sauces in this , you know , it's super customizable , but this is where we at right now .

Now I'm gonna go ahead and get my pasta and bring that into play .

I'll put in just a little bit at a time .

It depends on how big your pot is or your pan or , you know what you're using .

If I had a bigger pot , I would have went ahead and just dumped it all in here .

But for right now , we're gonna do it just like this just a little bit at a time .

And I want you guys to let me know down in the comment section below what you think about this right here .

You can see it coming together , but we're not done yet .

We're gonna put a topping on this .

We only gonna bake it in the oven for about 15 , about 15 minutes and we're gonna get us a ourselves a sample and then you guys are gonna make it and then I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna read them comments and then we're gonna go from there now that that's done .

I want you guys to take a look at this .

You guys can do it any kind of way you wanna do it .

This right here is an eight by eight .

You guys can use a nine by nine .

If you're using this amount of uh macaroni , you could use butter .

Look , you can take butter and grease it , meat .

I got this butter flavored non stick , you know , spray .

So I'm just gonna go ahead and spray it , we'll leave it like that now .

And as you can see they fit in this , this is a eight by eight , but probably more people probably have like a nine by nine .

So you can see it would be down just a little bit more .

Now , let's prep our , get this on there and get this in the oven .

All right .

Now , I'm gonna go ahead and just add this a little bit like maybe about a half a half of a tablespoon , something like that .

That's it .

Maybe just a little bit more .

That's good right there .

Now , once this is already up to , we're gonna go ahead and add our butter .

Now that we have that everything is melted and fuse together , we're gonna add our , now , what we're gonna do is we're just gonna move this back and forth until everything is absorbed .

And what we wanna do is we just wanna get like a little toasting on it , right .

So we'll just move it back and forth .

Ok ?

I don't know if you guys can see it , but when you leave it here , they kind of like it starts to darken up a little bit .

Look right over there .

That's what we're talking about .

When we say toast .

The , the , the paint , this is good .

Now , I'm gonna go ahead and just remove it from the fire .

I'm gonna get myself a spoon .

We're gonna take , take it like this and we're just gonna do a little Sprinkle just over the top .

Don't skip this step because look , this adds a lot of flavor .

OK ?

Look at that top right there right now .

We're gonna go ahead and put this into our preheated oven .

What we preheated to 350 degrees for 15 minutes .

Let's get it .

Ok ?

So you guys see , look , this is what it looks like after you know , 15 minutes , right ?

Look at that right there .

You see how I started browning on the top .

That's perfect .

That right there is gonna give it a nice little crunchy texture and it's gonna taste good too .

So I'm gonna go ahead .

Let's just go ahead and hit it like this .

You know what I mean ?

And we just get us a little bit right man .

It's so creamy , we'll just leave it like that .

Now let me get myself a spoon and let's taste that .

OK ?

Got something in the bowl as you can see it a little parsley over the top of it .

Now it's time to dig in , right ?

So hey , you look enough over talking .

Let me just go ahead and give me a little bit of this .

Make sure I get a little chicken on here too .
