For a milder flavor, use a less spicy Buffalo wing sauce or reduce the amount used.
To add a crispy top, broil the mac and cheese for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Feel free to substitute the rotisserie chicken with leftover cooked chicken or shredded turkey.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles on top before baking.

    I was skeptical about the ranch dressing mix, but it really adds a unique flavor. Will definitely make this again!

  • Michele Hoeger

    So easy to make and a huge crowd-pleaser. I added some chopped celery for extra crunch.

  • Oral Satterfield

    I didn't have rotisserie chicken, so I used leftover grilled chicken, and it worked great.

  • Cecile Pollich

    This recipe is amazing! My family devoured it. The perfect balance of cheesy and spicy.

  • Desiree Ritchie

    My kids aren't big fans of spicy food, so I used a mild wing sauce, and it was still delicious!

  • Keyon Witting

    The panko breadcrumbs add such a nice crispy texture. Love it!
