Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray or oil for frying

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine cooked macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, BBQ chicken, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
Form Bites: Using your hands, form small balls of the mixture, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
