HOW TO MAKE BUFFALO CHICKEN POTATO CHIPS The Buffalo Chicken Let’s kick things off for this Loaded Buffalo Chicken Kettle Chips recipe with the chicken. The last time I braised meat for my Quesabirria Tacos recipe, it turned out amazing, so I turned back to my tripod and Dutch oven for this recipe. I started with some Primal Kitchen avocado oil to ensure the chicken didn’t stick or burn to the bottom of the Dutch oven. Then, I tossed four chicken breasts into the mix along with some chicken stock and a whole bottle of Primal Kitchen’s buffalo sauce. If you haven’t heard about Primal Kitchen, you should definitely check them out! They make a variety of dressings, marinades, sauces, and other condiments with all clean and natural ingredients. Not to mention, they’re delicious! Meals are made better with quality ingredients like these. That said, into the mix went that entire bottle of buffalo sauce; luckily, I had another bottle saved for later. It will take about 3-4 hours for this loaded buffalo chicken to cook, so make sure you’re planning to chill for a bit. I checked on mine periodically to ensure it didn’t burn, but for the most part, we’re just waiting for the chicken to become fork-tender so that we can shred it. Once the chicken becomes fork tender, pull it from the tripod and shred the chicken in the reduced stock. You can thicken the stock by adding more buffalo sauce or thin it out with more chicken stock, depending on what you prefer. The Kettle Chips While the chicken is cooking, let’s talk about these kettle chips. They’re actually a lot easier to cook than you might expect. I started with 3 russet potatoes and thinly sliced them. After the potatoes are sliced, place them in an ice bath to rest for at least 30 minutes (an hour would be ideal if possible). The ice and water bath helps remove some of the starch from the potatoes so that they don’t overbrown during the frying process. Once it’s time to cook the chips, drain the water and place each chip into the frying oil. Pull them from the frying oil as they turn golden brown in color. The Blue Cheese Dressing Another aspect of this recipe that you can get ahead on is the blue cheese dressing. Blue cheese and buffalo go together like peanut butter and jelly, and this dressing is definitely the balancing agent for our Loaded Buffalo Chicken Kettle Chips recipe. It’s simple to make; just toss all the ingredients into a large bowl and then mix thoroughly. I’d also recommend doing this sooner rather than later. We’ll set it in the fridge to cool a bit before serving this dish. Buffalo Chicken Kettle Chips Assembly Alright, let’s pull this all together. On a large serving platter, we’ll create a base layer of our homemade kettle chips. Up next comes the MVP of this recipe, the loaded buffalo chicken! Spread it across the top of the chips. Then, a drizzle of our blue cheese dressing and another drizzle of buffalo sauce (I told you it was a good thing I had an extra bottle!). From here, I added some halved cherry tomatoes and then garnished with chopped scallions. It turned out amazing and was completely delicious. Best enjoyed with friends and family. Cheers!

The potato chips will last 1-2 weeks when properly sealed, the chicken for 3-4 days in the fridge, and the blue cheese dressing for 5-7 days.
