Ingredients

  • 1 lb frozen french fries
  • 2 cups cooked pulled chicken
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp red hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp green salsa (or green hot sauce)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the 1 lb frozen fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until golden and crispy, about 25 minutes, shaking halfway.

  2. 2

    While fries bake, warm the 2 cups pulled chicken in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot and slightly sizzling, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir the 1/2 cup barbecue sauce into the chicken. Cook for 2 minutes until the sauce coats the chicken and looks glossy.

  4. 4

    When fries are done, transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

  5. 5

    Pile the saucy chicken over the hot fries. Sprinkle the 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the 2 tbsp red hot sauce and 2 tbsp green salsa over the whole dish. Serve immediately while hot and melty.

  7. 7

    Optional: add a dollop of sour cream or chopped scallions if you have them.
