Equipment
- Deep fryer, air fryer, or oven for fries
- Large skillet or grill pan
- Mixing bowls
- Spatula and tongs
- Serving platter or large plate
- Optional: squeeze bottles for sauces
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen or fresh fries (shoestring, crinkle, or steak-cut)
- 2 large chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced or shredded
- 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: blue cheese crumbles, ranch or blue cheese dressing, sautéed bell peppers
Instructions
- Prepare the fries: Cook fries according to package or recipe instructions until crispy. Set aside and keep warm.
- Cook the onions: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onions in olive oil or butter until soft and caramelized, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the chicken: Season chicken slices with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In the same skillet, cook chicken until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
- Add Buffalo sauce: Toss the cooked chicken in Buffalo sauce until fully coated.
- Assemble the fries: Spread fries on a serving platter, layer the Buffalo chicken on top, then sprinkle the cheese evenly over everything. Cover and let sit 3–5 minutes for the cheese to melt.
- Top and serve: Add caramelized onions, blue cheese crumbles, and drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy fries, pat dry any frozen fries before cooking.
- Use a mix of cheeses for deeper flavor — provolone and cheddar work well together.
- To reduce spice, tone down the Buffalo sauce or add more creamy dressing on top.
- This dish can be adapted to air fryer cooking to reduce oil use without sacrificing crispiness.
- Leftover chicken and sauce freeze well for quick meals later — reheat separately from fries.
