Wings Etc. is leaning into comfort food this fall by testing out two new twists on macaroni and cheese: the new BBQ Chicken Bacon Mac ‘N’ Cheese and the new Buffalo Mac ‘N’ Cheese.
Currently being tested at Wings Etc. locations in Cape Girardeau, Dexter, and Jackson, Missouri, both of the new macaroni and cheese options feature Wings Etc.’s signature crispy or grilled boneless chicken on top. For instance, the BBQ Chicken Bacon Mac ‘N’ Cheese features Wings Etc.’s chicken tossed in the brand’s popular BBQ sauce, all served over a plate of rich and creamy macaroni and cheese. This version also features bacon bit and shredded Cheddar Jack cheese on top as well for extra flavor. On the other hand, the new Buffalo Mac ‘N’ Cheese features Wings Etc.'s chicken tossed in the brand’s mild Buffalo sauce over a plate of creamy macaroni and cheese with shredded Cheddar Jack cheese and more Buffalo sauce on top.
