Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit.
Add ¼ cup Louisiana style hot sauce, ¼ cup unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, ⅙ teaspoon garlic powder, ⅙ teaspoon paprika, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to medium saucepan. Place saucepan on stovetop over medium-low heat.
Whisk ingredients together until sauce begins to simmer and butter is completely melted. Taste sauce and adjust salt and/or pepper as needed.
Simmer buffalo sauce 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside. Let sauce cool completely.
Once buffalo sauce is cooled, pour sauce over 1 pound fully-cooked chicken in large mixing bowl. Stir ingredients together until chicken is fully coated in buffalo sauce.
Layer 1 32-ounce bag frozen french fries (cooked as preferred) evenly across bottom of baking pan. Top fries with 8 ounces shredded fresh mozzarella and prepared buffalo chicken, spreading cheese and chicken evenly across top of fries.
