These delicious BBQ Chicken Loaded Fries start with store-bought frozen fries and are topped with your favorite toppings. Perfect for entertaining at home and wowing your game day guests!

How do you make Loaded French Fries?
Start with frozen French fries. Bake at 425 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until crispy. TIP: For even crispier French Fries, fry them in canola oil about 350 to 360 degrees F.
What goes on Loaded French Fries?
When the fries are done baking, top with pulled rotisserie chicken and shredded cheese, place back in the oven until it is melted, about 15 minutes. Top with real bacon bits, sour cream, and slices of green onion.
More topping options:
- Avocados
- Guacamole
- BBQ Pulled Pork
- Diced Tomatoes
- Jalapenos
- Ranch Dressing
To make life easier, I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken and pulled it apart. Plus, I love the taste of a rotisserie chicken! Shred it with a fork or your fingers while it’s still warm. It will come apart much easier if it’s still warm.

“Loaded french fries” that is a brand new word for me! I grew up in Ireland and live in Japan – neither country has anything called loaded fries. I get the gist though 🙂 They look delicious and I will just have to try eating loaded fries for the first time. Thanks for sharing.
