Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Fries

Buffalo Chicken Fries are basically just a giant pile of meaty, cheesy, spicy goodness that you can whip together so easily. This combination of baked sweet potato fries and my healthier buffalo chicken sloppy joes is going to wow your taste buds!

The ingredient that really makes this dish a winner, though, is the cheese. Monterey Jack gives it an irresistible gooey texture, but only adds mild flavor so that the boldness of the blue cheese really stands out against the spicy chicken mixture.

Finally, there’s a drizzle of ranch dressing (I used my pantry Greek yogurt ranch), and I also dolloped on some Greek yogurt blue cheese dressing, because the messier the better, right? And, oh my goodness, so darn amazing. My boys and I polished off the entire skillet!

Why You’ll Love These Buffalo Fries

This chicken fries recipe is a family favorite in my house! Here’s why I think it’ll be much the same at your house:

• A perfect blend of textures. In every bite of this appetizer/quick dinner you get crispy sweet potato fries, juicy ground chicken, and tender carrots and celery covered in two kinds of gooey melted cheese. Yum!
• Quick and easy. Buffalo chicken fries can be prepped and cooked in just 45 minutes!
• Comfort food. What we have here is just the epitome of cozy game day food! Kick back in front of the TV and treat yourself to a plate of cheesy fries and spicy buffalo chicken. What could be better?

How to Make Loaded Buffalo Chicken Fries

These buffalo fries are done and ready to be devoured in no time! Just follow these simple steps:

For the Sweet Potato Fries

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Then, coat a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray.
• Prepare the fries. Cut your sweet potatoes into slices that are about ½ inch wide and 2-3 inches long. Toss the potato slices in the olive oil, salt, and pepper, and lay them on the baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake the fries. Bake them for 10 minutes, flip the baking sheet, and then bake them for another 10-15 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy. And, while the fries are baking, prepare the buffalo chicken!

For the Buffalo Chicken

• Cook the vegetables. Heat some oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add in the onions, carrots, and celery (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook everything for 5-6 minutes, or until the onions are becoming translucent and the vegetables are softening.
• Cook the chicken. Add the ground chicken to the pan, and cook it until it’s done, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
• Add in the sauce. Stir in the tomato sauce, hot sauce, and Worcestershire, and let everything simmer for several minutes, until any excess moisture has evaporated and the mixture has thickened.
• Assemble the chicken fries. Pile your fries onto a baking sheet or into a skillet that has been lightly coated with oil, then top them with the buffalo chicken mixture, Monterey Jack, and blue cheese. Bake everything for another 5-7 minutes, or broil for 2-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Serve and enjoy! Drizzle or serve your fries with ranch and/or blue cheese dip/dressing!

How to Store

These buffalo chicken fries are best eaten the day they’re made. You can try storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days and reheating them in the oven, but they will likely become soggy.

Serving Suggestions

What goes with these buffalo chicken fries, you ask? I highly recommend other game day favorites like these crispy air fryer onion rings, these gluten free garlic knots, this stovetop gluten free mac and cheese, or this world’s best chili recipe as well!

You can also serve them as a meal with a side of roasted cauliflower or a simple tossed salad with more of that ranch or blue cheese dressing.
