Instructions:
- Cook the macaroni pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, cooking for about 2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking and whisking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce and stir until melted and smooth. Season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until well coated. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat them with the flour mixture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to around 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the Hennessy, honey, and soy sauce. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Dip each fried chicken breast into the Hennessy glaze, coating it well. Place the glazed chicken breasts on a wire rack to allow excess glaze to drip off.
- Serve the Cajun Mac and Cheese alongside the Crispy Hennessy Glazed Fried Chicken. Enjoy!
