- 2 Tablespoons pickled tame jalapenos optional
- 2 Tablespoons ranch dressing
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- 2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro for garnish, optional
- Hot sauce optional
Instructions
- Cut open baked sweet potatoes and top with warm shredded buffalo chicken.
- Top with ½-1 Tablespoon blue cheese crumbles, ½ Tablespoon red onions (or pickled red onions), ½ Tablespoon picked (tame jalapenos), a drizzle of ranch dressing, 1 Tablespoon green onions and ½ Tablespoon cilantro.

Notes
- Buffalo sauce choice: Do not grab “wing sauce” by mistake. Wing sauces often have fillers and fake butter flavor. Stick with a true buffalo sauce made from hot sauce, vinegar, and butter or oil for the best flavor.
- Sweet potatoes: Baking brings out the best flavor, but you can also make my air fryer baked sweet potato for a quicker option.
- Meal prep: Bake potatoes and cook chicken ahead of time, then reheat and assemble before serving.
- Spice level: Adjust heat with mild buffalo sauce, jalapeños, or extra hot sauce.
