Ingredients

For the Fries

1.5 lbs Potatoes (Russet) Provides the perfect crunch; sweet potatoes can be used for a sweeter taste.

For the Chicken

2 pieces Chicken Breasts Cut into 1-inch cubes; rotisserie chicken works well for a quicker option.
1.5 tsp Smoked Paprika Adds a delightful smoky flavor; omit for a milder dish.
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder Enhances savoriness; fresh minced garlic can elevate the flavor even more.

For the BBQ Sauce

2 tbsp Ketchup Establishes a sweet and tangy base for the sauce.
1 fl oz Soy Sauce Introduces a rich umami depth; tamari is a great gluten-free alternative.
0.5 fl oz Worcestershire Sauce Boosts complexity; coconut aminos can substitute for a different twist.
1.1 fl oz Sweet Chili Sauce Infuses sweetness and mild heat; honey is a good alternative.
1 tsp Brown Sugar Further sweetens the sauce; agave syrup can be used as a substitute.
1 tsp Honey Lends natural sweetness; maple syrup is an acceptable replacement.

For Toppings

1 piece Bell Pepper Diced; any color works beautifully.
0.5 pieces Green Chili Contributes heat and flavor; feel free to omit if you prefer mild.
1 piece Avocado Brings creaminess and healthy fats; an essential addition for freshness.
1 piece Spring Onion Finely minced; substitute with chives if needed.
1 large Lime Brightens the dish significantly; lemon can be used instead for a similar effect.

Step-by-Step Instructions for BBQ Chicken Fries

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut the Russet potatoes into even-sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread them on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
Bake the fries for 30–35 minutes, turning them halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
Season cubed chicken breasts with smoked paprika and garlic powder. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add oil, and sauté the chicken for 7–10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
In a bowl, combine ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sweet chili sauce, brown sugar, and honey to make the BBQ sauce. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the BBQ sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet and gently stir to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Arrange the baked fries on a serving platter and top them with BBQ chicken. Add diced bell pepper and green chili on top.
Top with slices of avocado and finely minced spring onion. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish and serve.

Notes

For crispy fries, ensure they are spaced out on the baking sheet. Marinating chicken in BBQ sauce for a few minutes can enhance flavor.
