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

• 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. Looking for a great barbecue sauce recipe? Try my Maple Peach Barbecue Sauce recipe.McCain products have a crispy exterior for a satisfying crunch with every bite. They are great for dipping and layering. Find them in the frozen section at Walmart with the rest of the potato items. I love that we can find everything we need in one store!
