Tips & Tricks
Crispy Fries Are Key – Bake or air-fry your fries until extra crispy to hold up under the toppings without getting soggy. You can also use waffle fries or tater tots for extra crunch.
Shredded vs. Diced Chicken – Shredded chicken absorbs buffalo sauce better, but diced grilled chicken works great if you prefer chunkier bites.
Cheese Choice Matters – Use a blend of cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for the best melt. A layer of cheese under the chicken helps prevent the fries from getting soggy.
Layering for Perfection – Assemble in layers: fries, cheese, buffalo chicken, more cheese, and bake again for the best texture.
Customize the Heat – Adjust the buffalo sauce to your spice level. Mix with melted butter for a milder taste or add cayenne for extra heat.
Toppings Make a Difference – Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing and top with green onions, crispy bacon bits, or even jalapeños for extra flavor.
Serve Immediately – These fries are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven to keep the fries crispy and the cheese gooey.
