How To Make Fried Chicken-Stuffed Mac & Cheese Empanadas

I think we’ve found the evolved form of fried chicken and it is beautiful.

Amy Erickson at Oh, Bite It pushes the boundaries of crazy food mash-ups, and these fried chicken-stuffed mac & cheese empanadas combine two of your favorite southern dishes.

In essence, Erickson used pre-made fried chicken tenders and breaded them with a fried macaroni and cheese batter.

As always, the recipes on Oh, Bite It are very practical and help the average person make really cool creations, as is evident by the use of pre-made chicken tenders. She shows us an easy step-by-step on how to make the mac & cheese batter, which is then used to cover the chicken strips. She then coats the battered chicken in some bread crumbs, puts them in oil to fry, and BAM — you’ve got some crazy mac & cheese chicken.
