minutesIngredients
- For the Fries:
1 package of frozen crinkle-cut fries
- For the Fried Chicken Bites:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil, for frying
- For the Buffalo Sauce:
½ cup hot sauce (preferably Frank’s RedHot)
½ cup unsalted butter
- For the Homemade Ranch Dressing:
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- For Garnish:
Fresh chives, chopped
Directions
- Prepare the Fries:
Cook the frozen crinkle-cut fries according to the package instructions until golden and crispy. Set aside. - Prepare the Fried Chicken Bites:
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, marinate the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 15 minutes to tenderize.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Dredge the marinated chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels. - Prepare the Buffalo Sauce:
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce and mix until well combined. Toss the fried chicken bites in the buffalo sauce until evenly coated. - Prepare the Homemade Ranch Dressing:
In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth. Add the chopped parsley, chives, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. - Assemble the Buffalo Chicken Fries:
Arrange the cooked fries on a serving platter. Top with the buffalo-coated chicken bites. Drizzle generously with the homemade ranch dressing. Garnish with additional chopped chives. - Recipe Notes:
Frozen Fries: Using frozen crinkle-cut fries saves time and provides a sturdy base that holds up well under the toppings.
Homemade Ranch Dressing: Making ranch dressing from scratch enhances the freshness and flavor of the dish.
Buffalo Sauce: Frank’s RedHot sauce is recommended for an authentic buffalo flavor, but feel free to adjust the heat level to your preference.
