2 Cups.Of heavy cream.

PREPARATION:
1st Step
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all of the sauce ingredients.
2nd Step
Once it’s boiling, turn the heat down to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until it’s thickened a little. Take away from the stove and let cool.
3rd Step
Bring to 350 degrees Fahrenheit a deep fryer or a big, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Arrange a cooling rack made of wire over a sheet of paper towels.
4th Step
Set up a dredging station. Pour the buttermilk into a large mixing basin. The dry ingredients (flour, paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper) should be mixed together in a second big basin.
5th Step
Coat the chicken tenders with buttermilk by tossing them in the liquid. Drain the chicken tenders of any excess buttermilk before dredging and rolling them in the flour mixture to coat.
6th Step
Fry the tenders in batches of three for four minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Take them out of the oil with a pair of spoons and set them on a cooling rack.
TO MAKE THE CHEESY MACARONI, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
1st Step
For this, you’ll need to bring a lot of salted water to a boil. To get the desired al dente texture, cook pasta following the suggestions on the box. The pasta should be drained, rinsed, and then returned to the cooking pot with a dash of olive oil to avoid sticking. Putting aside.
2nd Step
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low to medium heat. After approximately 45-60 seconds, add the garlic and cook until it becomes fragrant.
3rd Step
Mix the flour in with a whisk until it becomes a pale golden color and begins to bubble. Slowly add the heavy cream while continuously whisking, and keep going for another 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
4th Step
When each kind of cheese has been added, stir until it has melted. Add pepper and salt to taste. Toss the finished spaghetti with the cheese sauce to coat.
5th Step
To assemble, put the chicken strips in a bowl and cover them with honey pepper sauce. Serve the mac and cheese in individual portions, upon which you may arrange a few chicken tenders, some crumbled bacon, and maybe even some fresh parsley if you want.
