I would tell you to fly out to Chicago to have the real thing-in *ahem* the city with the best restaurant in the America and one of the best in the world-but sadly, it seems Brehon Pub doesn’t have the buffalo chicken mac and cheese on the menu anymore. No, this recipe is nothing like Brehon Pub, this is just the version that I like to make. Broiling is not mandatory for eating the buffalo mac and cheese, but it’s my favorite way to make it. Instead, I find the tastiest way to enjoy a buffalo mac is by simply mixing some cooked chicken strips and buffalo sauce into the skillet with the mac, top it with cheese, then broil it for a few minutes. Yes, I did try throwing frozen breaded buffalo tenders on top like Brehon’s, but it wasn’t nearly as good. While delicious, deep frying chicken for a weeknight dinner really isn’t in my wheelhouse. I didn’t want to make fried chickenīrehon’s take on this dish included deep-fried buffalo chicken tenders, which were diced and placed on top of a creamy, sharp cheddar mac and cheese. So I played around with the ratios to make a buffalo chicken mac and cheese that actually made sense for a simple dinner for four.
BUFFALO CHICKEN MAC AND CHEESE NEAR ME FOR MAC
The recipe for mac sauce in The Mac + Cheese Cookbook is good, but it makes way too much sauce for one recipe. Mac sauce is made by simply making a thick white cream sauce, then adding cheese. The trick to making the best homemade mac and cheese is creating a good mac sauce. It wasn’t until we bought The Mac + Cheese Cookbookthat we were able to see any kind of success. I honestly am not sure how many times we’ve tried recreating this recipe, because, after every single attempt, nothing could compare to Brehon Pub. Weeks into living in Brooklyn, we craved creamy buffalo chicken mac. It was home to some of the best buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese. It was the place we loved to hang out with our friends. When we made the decision to move to New York City, our hearts slightly broke over having to actually leave this place. Thats why we put forth so much extra effort on. I mean, he liked this place so much, he even spent part of his bachelor party there. When you visit our restaurants, your happiness is our primary concern. My husband and his best friend loved grabbing beers and Brehon’s buffalo chicken mac after work on a regular basis. But for some reason, nothing-and I mean nothing-could beat the buffalo chicken mac and cheese at Brehon Pub.
My husband and I had some of our best dates in Chicago restaurants-like Fork (where we had our rehearsal dinner), Flacos Tacos, and Art of Pizza where we bought slices of deep-dish pizza as big as our faces for less than $4. I lived in Chicago for five years and seriously couldn’t get enough of the food scene.
