Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs french fries
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1/3 cup red pepper sauce I used Frank's
- 2 tbsp ghee
Instructions
Fries
- If using storebought fries, bake according to directions on the package.
Chicken
- Place chicken in the Instant Pot insert and add 3 cups of chicken broth or water.
- Lock the lid into place and set the steam release handle (valve on top) to “Sealing”. Press Poultry>High Pressure>12 minutes.
- Allow for a 10-minute natural release and then perform a quick release. Remove the chicken and transfer to a bowl and shred with two forks.
Buffalo Sauce
- Combine pepper sauce and ghee in a small saucepan.
- Cook over high heat, stirring often. Allow it to come to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Pour the sauce over the shredded chicken and toss to coat. Add sauced chicken to your crispy fries and top with sliced green onions, cilantro, sliced jalapenos, or whatever else your pretty heart desires.
Notes
Make the sauce and shredded chicken ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Heat and serve over hot fries.
Increase the amount of ghee if you prefer your buffalo sauce on the mild side.
