This is the second part of a cook once, eat twice post. The other day I made sandwiches for dinner. While I was cooking the chicken for the sandwiches I cooked some extra chicken breasts to make this dish for snacking while watching our favorite football game.
Buffalo chicken is one thing my family loves while watching the football games. Whether is it baked wings, a buffalo flavored cheese ball, or these Buffalo chicken fries we try to have at least one dish with our favorite spices while watching the Buffalo Bills play.
Verdict:
These were delicious! They had heat, gooey cheese, and a cool finish from the drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing (your choice!). You can make the Buffalo sauce super spicy by adding some Cayenne pepper and your favorite super hot sauce or cool it down using less hot sauce and a bit more butter.
If you cannot find cheese curd a mixture of mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese will work. It will not have the same salty taste as cheese curd but it is still really good.
Serve this on a football day or for dinner with vegetable slices and a salad.

What's for Dinner Moms? 
Buffalo chicken anything is my favorite. These look delicious. College gameday is the day for buffalo chicken fries. My family always makes buffalo chicken dip but we have never thought of this. This will definitely be a new meal on Saturdays during the game.
