Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures your fries get crispy and delicious.
- Prepare the potatoes by washing and cutting them into thin strips. If you're opting for frozen fries, skip this step.
- Toss the potato strips in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Ensure each fry is evenly coated.
- Spread the fries evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Combine the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce in a bowl. Stir until every piece of chicken is coated.
- Layer the BBQ pulled chicken evenly over the cooked fries once they’re ready.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken. The melting cheese will bring everything together.
- Return the loaded fries to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Top with sliced green onions, drizzle of sour cream, and pickled jalapeños if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful blend of textures and tastes.
