1
Start by making the sauce.
-
2
You can do this ahead of time.
-
3
Add the satay sauce ingredients into a saucepan, and simmer, stirring along the way.
-
4
Once everything is combined and has thickened and formed your preferred consistency for sauce, take it off of the burner and set it aside.
-
5
Let it cool and store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
-
6
Add the cut fries into a large bowl of cold water, and keep them in there for about 20 minutes.
-
7
This helps remove a bit of the starch from the potato.
-
8
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry them on a large towel, getting them ready for the oil.
-
9
During this time, add the oil into a medium-sized pot and bring that up to about 300 F.
-
10
In small batches, add the fries into the hot oil and cook them only for about 5 minutes.
-
11
Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon, and set them aside on some paper towel.
-
12
Repeat with remaining potatoes.
-
13
Now that the potatoes are par-cooked and drained, bring the oil temperature up to 350 F. Once the 350 F temperature has been reached, add the pre-cooked potatoes in small batches, back into the oil.
-
14
Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the exterior.
-
15
Again, remove with a slotted spoon, and set on some more paper towels to drain.
-
16
Repeat with the remaining fries.
-
17
Add the cooked fries into a mixing bowl and generously season with salt and pepper.
-
18
Back away from the fries!
-
19
Do not eat them until they are ready for the remaining ingredients!
-
20
Warm up the satay sauce.
-
21
Add the fries to a serving dish.
-
22
Spoon the sauce all over the french fries.
-
23
Shower with the cooked chicken and cilantro.
-
24
Spoon over a bit more sauce, then get ready to dig in.
-
25
Now you have a couple of options.
-
26
Dig in with a fork, or dig in with your fingers.
-
27
Me?
-
28
Fingers all the way.
-
29
The result was everything I expected from that awesome satay sauce.
-
30
And then you get blasted with the awesome texture of the french fries.
-
31
A crispy exterior with a tender interior, that when combined with the sauce, well, I will say no more.

These loaded chicken satay french fries were awesome!
