I have read some macaroni recipes online in which they put plain flour, anyone knows what’s the reason of adding plain flour? And, I am not talking about baked macaroni/pasta.

Re: Macaroni with flour
No, you are suppose to add it while frying chicken.
Usually helps to thicken whatever sauce is being made. If they add any liquid, it will help thicken it.
Re: Macaroni with flour
Flour + butter makes a roux (thickening agent)....add milk to make a sauce base....add shredded cheese to make the cheese sauce....add the macaroni (boiled till al dente)...that is how macaroni and cheese is made, it's a staple in the South.

Maybe you should share the recipe here so we can figure out whether you’re making macaroni or fried chicken
