Pure junk food bliss — creamy, gooey homemade mac n cheese piled on top of crispy fried chicken, then buried under a mountain of crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos. A cheddar bacon jam and sharp cheddar cheese spread hold it all together on the bottom bun, while a cool, crunchy slaw cuts through the richness. This is the sandwich that doesn't care about your diet.
