Treat yourself the decadent way: Mac & Cheese Fried Chicken Waffle Sandwiches

Bacon. Macaroni and cheese. Fried chicken and waffles. All three of these delicacies are delicious on their own but become absolutely magical when the join forces.

The gastronomic geniuses of Food Steez have devised a way to bring all these favorites together in a jaw-droppingly epic sandwich. While you probably shouldn't indulge in one of these bad boys on a daily basis, they make for an excellent special occasion celebration.

To make these mind-blowing delights, you'll need:
1 box of macaroni pasta
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup of milk
2 cups of your favorite cheese
6 strips of bacon
5 chicken breasts
1 cup of Frank's Red Hot sauce
2 cups of buttermilk
2 cups of flour
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon of salt
1 tablespoon of pepper
oil

To begin, boil the macaroni for 8 to 10 minutes. After draining the noodles, stir in the butter, milk and cheese with the pasta.

Next, bake the bacon for 10-15 mins at 400 degrees. While that's in the oven, put the chicken breasts, hot sauce, and buttermilk in a bowl and mix them around until the meat is fully coated and the liquid is well-combined. To make the breading, mix the flour, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken in the breading and carefully cook them in oil for 13 to 20 minutes.

Then, lightly coat the waffle maker with cooking spray, and gently press a generous scoop of the macaroni into it.

This glorious creation of golden-brown cheesiness will serve as the "bread" portion of the sandwich.

Once all the components are cooked and the grumbling your stomach is impossible to ignore, construct the sandwich in whatever order you desire and feel free to add whatever toppings — such as another dose of hot sauce — to your masterpiece. Enjoy!
