👨‍🍳 Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Cook macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 minutes.

Cut wings and legs off rotisserie chicken.

Skin and bone wings and legs; chop or shred dark meat into bite-size pieces.

Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.

Whisk in flour gradually until a thick paste forms.

Cook until golden, about 1 minute.

Pour in milk, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbling, about 5 minutes.

Continue to cook until sauce is smooth, about 1 minute more.

Reduce heat and season sauce with black pepper.

Stir Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese into the sauce until melted and combined.
