Our fresh take on the classical 'Loaded Crispy Waffle Fry Stacks' is a perfect appetizer that will be a hit at any gathering. Imagine crispy waffle fries and juicy popcorn chicken, layered with smoky cheese sauce and topped with crispy bacon and fresh chives. It's a rich and engaging flavor journey ...
Begin by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange the waffle fries and popcorn chicken on separate rimmed baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes or until the waffle fries are golden brown and crispy and the popcorn chicken is heated through.
CHEESE SAUCE

In the meantime, prepare the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, cream cheese, butter, and garlic powder. Stir until the cream cheese and butter are completely melted.

Lower the heat to low and gradually stir in the Monterey Jack cheese, one handful at a time. Continue stirring until all the cheese is melted and incorporated.

Stir in the Honey BBQ sauce until well combined, then remove from heat.
