🛒 Ingredients
Fries
- 800 g potatoes (or frozen fries)
- oil for frying
- salt
BBQ chicken
- 2 chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 tablespoon oil

🔪 Step 1 – Make Crispy Fries
Cut potatoes into sticks.
Soak 20–30 minutes (removes starch → crispier fries).
Dry well.
Fry at:
180°C (350°F) for 5–6 minutes
Until golden and crispy.
Salt immediately.
(Or bake/air fry if easier.)
🍗 Step 2 – Cook the BBQ Chicken
Heat oil in pan.
Cook onions + garlic until soft.
Add diced chicken.
Season with salt, pepper, paprika.
Cook until golden.
Add BBQ sauce.
Simmer 3–4 minutes until sticky and glazed.
Chicken should be juicy and saucy.
Smells insane already 🤤
🧀 Step 3 – Assemble
On a tray or pan:
Layer:
1️⃣ Fries
2️⃣ Cheese
3️⃣ BBQ chicken
4️⃣ more cheese
This double cheese layer = ultimate melt.
🔥 Step 4 – Melt
Bake 5–7 minutes at 200°C (400°F)
Until cheese fully melted and bubbly.
Or broil 2 minutes.
Watch carefully (don’t burn).
🧀 Step 5 – Add Final Toppings
Sprinkle:
- blue cheese crumbles
- herbs
- extra BBQ drizzle
- ranch or garlic sauce
Go heavy… this isn’t diet food 😂
🍽️ Serve
Serve HOT.
Pull a fry.
Watch cheese stretch.
Sauce dripping everywhere.
Pure happiness.
