1
Boil the elbow macaroni in salted water until al dente, then drain and set it aside. Remember to stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
2
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
3
Stir in the all-purpose flour to form a roux, and allow this mixture to cook for about a minute.
4
Slowly add the whole milk into the roux, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Allow this mixture to cook for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken.
5
Reduce the heat to low and start to stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
6
Add the buffalo sauce, salt, and black pepper to the cheese sauce, stirring well to mix.
7
Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, elbow macaroni and crumbled blue cheese into the sauce. Mix thoroughly until everything is well incorporated.
8
Allow the mixture to sit for about 2-3 minutes to thicken.
9
Before serving, garnish the macaroni with finely chopped green onions.
