How To Make Butter Chicken Poutine Walking Bags

Step 1: Cook the Fries

Bake or air fry the fries until crispy and golden.

✨ Canadian Cooking Adventures Tip:
Air fryer fries work AMAZING in this recipe because they stay crispier longer.

---

Step 2: Prepare the Butter Chicken

Cook the chicken in a skillet until golden brown.

Add butter chicken sauce, cream, butter, and spices.

Simmer until rich, creamy, and thick.

---

Step 3: Prepare the Chip Bags

Open each ripple chip bag from the top or side.

Lightly crush the chips just slightly.

This helps create layers while still keeping crunch.

---

Step 4: Build the Walking Bags

Layer inside each chip bag:

1. Ripple chips
2. Crispy fries
3. Butter chicken
4. Cheese curds
5. Extra butter chicken drizzle
6. Fresh cilantro

Serve immediately while hot and creamy.

Canadian Cooking Adventures Tips

Use Fresh Cheese Curds

Fresh cheese curds give the BEST authentic poutine texture.

Don’t Overload the Sauce

Too much sauce can make the chips soggy too quickly.

Serve Immediately

These are best enjoyed fresh while the fries and chips are still crispy.

Add Heat

Top with jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy version.

Make It a DIY Bar

Perfect for parties! Let guests build their own walking bags with different toppings.

---

Storage Tips

These are best eaten fresh.

However:

• Butter chicken can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Fries can be reheated in the air fryer.
• Prep all toppings ahead for easy entertaining.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead?

You can prep the butter chicken and toppings ahead of time, but assemble just before serving.

What chips work best?

Ripple chips work best because they hold up to the sauce better than thin chips.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Absolutely! Swap the chicken for paneer or crispy cauliflower.

Are these spicy?

Mild butter chicken sauce works great for families, but you can easily make them spicy.

Can I use leftover butter chicken?

YES! This recipe is amazing for using leftover butter chicken.
