Ingredients
- 26 ounces frozen french fries
- 16 ounces grilled chicken strips or pieces
- 1 cup buffalo hot sauce
- 1½ cups grated pepper jack cheese
- 1½ cups grated Monterey jack cheese
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
- ½ to 1 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Spread the french fries onto a sheet pan and bake according to the package instructions. I like to bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes beyond the recommended bake time so that the fries are crispier.
- While the fries are cooking, chop chicken into bite-size pieces and toss with about ½ cup of buffalo sauce.
- Remove the cooked fries from the oven when they are golden and crispy. Sprinkle with half of the cheese, then the chicken pieces, and then the remaining cheeses.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheeses are melted and the chicken is hot.
- Drizzle the fries with buffalo sauce and ranch dressing (adjust the amount to your taste).
- Sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and sliced green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
- It is best to grate the cheese from a block. Shredded cheeses that you buy in the grocery store tend to have a coating that means that it doesn’t melt quite as well.
- If you’re serving a crowd, this recipe easily doubles or triples.
- Green onions or fresh chives are a great garnish for color and a little fresh onion flavor.
