Ingredients

Base

  • Frozen or fresh fries (shoestring or steak cut) – enough for 4 servings

Buffalo Chicken

  • Cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped – 2 large breasts
  • Buffalo sauce – 1/2 to 3/4 cup (adjust to taste)

Cheese

  • Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) – 1 to 1 1/2 cups

Garnishes & Dips

  • Green onions, freshly sliced – 2 tablespoons
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing – for drizzling, about 1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fries: Cook the fries according to package instructions or your preferred homemade method until crispy on the outside and tender inside, creating the perfect base for the dish.
  2. Cook and Shred the Chicken: While the fries are cooking, prepare the chicken breasts by boiling, baking, or pan-searing until fully cooked. Once cooled slightly, shred or chop into bite-sized pieces for easy mixing.
  3. Coat the Chicken in Buffalo Sauce: Toss the shredded chicken thoroughly in buffalo sauce until every piece is well-coated. Adjust the amount of sauce based on your desired spice level.
  4. Layer Ingredients: Arrange the cooked fries evenly on a serving plate or baking sheet. Spread the buffalo chicken over the fries in an even layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top to cover.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Place the loaded fries in a preheated oven or under a broiler until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden, creating a gooey, irresistible topping.
  6. Add Fresh Garnishes: Remove the loaded fries from heat and garnish with freshly sliced green onions. Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired to balance the heat and add creaminess.

Notes

  • Use fries that stay crispy after baking to avoid sogginess.
  • Mix hot sauce with melted butter to create a smoother buffalo sauce.
  • Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded varieties.
  • For extra cheesiness, layer cheese under and over the buffalo chicken.
  • Serve immediately for best texture: hot, crispy fries with melty cheese.
