Preheat your outdoor grill or griddle pan to medium high heat.
In a large bowl, toss the french fries with half of the CookJunkie BBQ Sauce until evenly coated.
Arrange the coated fries on the heated grill or griddle in a single layer, allowing room for even cooking and crisping.
Season the fries with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Cook the fries for 8 10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from heat, top with remaining BBQ sauce, and garnish with chopped green onions.

The key to perfect carnival-style BBQ fries is using a high heat to achieve a crispy exterior while keeping the interior tender and hot.

Adjust the heat level of this recipe by using a spicier BBQ sauce or adding more smoked paprika.

For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free BBQ sauce.

This recipe can be prepared in the oven or air fryer as well.

Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.

Store fries and sauce separately in the refrigerator. Fries may lose their crispness if stored together.

Fries - up to 5 days, Sauce - up to 2 weeks

Arrange fries in a mound on the plate, drizzle with BBQ sauce, and sprinkle with green onions for a burst of color.
