Directions:For the Hot Honey Glaze
1) Combine ingredients in a small sauce pan.
2) Bring to medium heat, make sure to stir often and let the honey warm through approx. 3-5 minutes (Don’t let it boil)
3) Remove from heat and use
For the chicken
1) prepare the chicken according to the instructions on the bag (I prefer the air fryer)
2) once cooked, toss in the honey glaze and let sit
3) serve on top of the Mac or beside
For the Baked Mac and Cheese
1) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
2) In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to the al dente directions on the package (if not included, cook for one minute less than called for). Drain, rinse, and toss with the vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
3) In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the butter over medium-high heat until melted. Add the flour and cook, constantly whisking, until it turns a light and toasty brown color, 3 to 6 minutes. Gradually add the milk while whisking, then increase the heat to high and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking, until it thickens, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cheeses, a few handfuls at a time, and whisk the sauce until smooth. Whisk in the salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Stir in the cooked pasta, and season to taste with more salt and pepper.
Pour the mixture into the buttered baking dish and spread more cheese evenly over the top. Bake until the topping is browned and crisp and the cheese is bubbling, about 8 minutes to 10 minutes. Leftovers can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. |

Notes: The original video that we watched to make this was also topped with Cole Slaw… however I choose to leave that part out, cause I am not a Cole slaw girlie
Also when we made this the first time, we used a different baked Mac recipe, but I chose to include Chrissy Teigen’s because I love her’s the most
