The recipe calls for spicy mayo-style sauce. Mix mayo with hot sauce, garlic, and seasoning to taste, then adjust heat level to preference.

How do I keep the fries crispy under the toppings?
Assemble just before serving and use warm components. If making ahead, keep fries, chicken, and sauces separate and combine at the table.
Can I substitute the chicken tenders?
Yes. Use shredded rotisserie chicken, boneless wings, or spicy chicken breast cut into chunks. Keep the hot oil glaze and spice blend consistent.
