Ingredients
For the Blue Cheese Dressing
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2-4 Tbsp milk depending on personal preference
- ½ Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp chopped chives
- 1 Tbsp dried parsley
- ¼ tsp garlic salt
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
For the Fries
- 1 26-oz. package frozen french fries (see note)
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- ½ cup buffalo sauce divided
- 1½ cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese I used Cabot
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese I used Cabot
- ½ cup crumbled blue cheese
- ½ cup sliced green onions
Instructions
For the Blue Cheese Dressing
- Using a medium bowl, add sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, lemon juice, chives, dried parsley and garlic salt; stir until well combined.
- Add crumbled blue cheese; stir until well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).
For the Fries
- Spread frozen fries into a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake fries according to package directions. (Tip: I recommend baking the fries a bit longer than recommended just to ensure they are crispy, but this is a personal preference.)
- When fries are ~5 minutes from done, add the rotisserie chicken and ¼ cup of buffalo sauce to a large bowl; toss until well combined.
- Remove fries from oven.
- Using a small bowl, combine the Pepper Jack and mozzarella cheeses. Sprinkle half of the cheese on top of the fries.
- Spread buffalo chicken evenly on top.
- Spread remaining cheese on top of chicken.
- Return fries to the oven and broil for 2-4 minutes, or until cheese has completely melted.
- Remove fries from oven and drizzle with remaining buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing (from above).
- Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese and sliced green onions on top.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
I recommend thicker “hand-cut” style fries rather than thinner “shoestring” style fries for this recipe.
