Instructions

Make the fries: Bake your choice of fries according to package instructions.
Make the buffalo chicken: Add a teaspoon of cooking oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for about 4 minutes, flipping, or until cooked through.
Add the butter, hot sauce, and spices. Stir until the butter melts and then let simmer for a few minutes.
Second bake: Once the fries are cooked remove them from the oven. Scatter half of the cheese over the fries. Add the buffalo chicken and sauce. Scatter the rest of the cheese over.
Bake again for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and browned.
Serve: Add a portion of fries to a plate and drizzle with ranch dressing (or just serve on the side, or omit.)
To drizzle, add the dressing to a zip-top bag and then snip a small section out of one corner. Use as a piping bake to drizzle on the fries.
Sprinkle with green onions and serve.

Notes

Don't want chicken? Try cauliflower or chickpeas instead.

Don't want to double bake? If you're short on time just top the fries with some shredded cheese before the chicken. The heat of the chicken will help melt the cheese a bit.

Want a more classic serving style? Serve with crumbled bleu cheese on top.

This recipe serves half a chicken breast per portion for 4 servings.

Adjust the amount of fries per person to your liking.
