Ingredients

Chicken Adobo

  • * 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • * 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • * 1 tablespoon cane vinegar or white vinegar
  • * 2 garlic cloves minced
  • * 1 bay leaf
  • * ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • * ¼ cup water

Chipotle Mayo

  • * ¼ cup light mayonnaise
  • * 1 to 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • * 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • * Pinch of garlic powder
  • * Pinch of salt
  • * Ground black pepper to taste

For the Fries

  • * 1 package frozen curly fries
  • * Sriracha optional
  • * Sliced green onions for garnish
  • * Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Make the Chicken Adobo

  • Add the shredded chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaf, black pepper, and water to a skillet.
  • Cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is heated through and most of the liquid has reduced.
  • Remove and discard the bay leaf.

Make the Chipotle Mayo

  • Add the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to a small blender or food processor.
  • Blend until smooth. Add a teaspoon of water if you prefer a thinner sauce for drizzling.

Assemble the Fries

  • Bake or air-fry the curly fries according to the package directions until crisp.
  • Arrange the fries on a serving platter or oven-safe skillet.
  • Top with the warm chicken adobo. Drizzle with chipotle mayo and sriracha, if using.
  • Garnish with green onions and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Keep the fries crisp. Assemble the dish immediately before serving so the chicken and sauce do not make the fries soggy.
Shortcut option. Use leftover rotisserie chicken, then simmer it briefly with the adobo seasonings.
Control the heat. Start with 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers and increase according to taste.
Higher-protein version. Use 3 cups shredded chicken and serve the fries as four meal-size portions instead of one large appetizer.
