#CookpadApron2026 I missed my wing fix this past week, so this recipe will have to hold me over until I can get the real thing. I’m a flapper person, and my husband goes for the drums — or maybe he’s just being sweet and letting me have first pick. The recipe takes about 90 minutes because of the roasted potatoes. If you’ve got a shortcut for roasting, feel free to use it.

Steps

Prep and cook time: 90 minutes

1

Preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
2

In a large skillet over medium heat, stir together olive oil, hot pepper sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt.
3

Toss the potatoes in the sauce in batches, then use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a baking dish. The goal is to coat the potatoes and chicken lightly, not drench them in sauce.
4

Add the chicken to the remaining sauce in the saucepan and let it marinate while the potatoes roast. You can also give the chicken a quick cook in the sauce for extra flavor.
5

Roast the potatoes for about 45 minutes, until they’re golden brown and crispy, giving them a stir every 15 minutes.
6

Lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
7

Drizzle ranch dressing over the potatoes to tone down the spiciness. Spread chicken cubes evenly over the roasted potatoes, then sprinkle with cheese, cooked bacon, and green onion.
8

Return to the oven and bake about 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese on top is bubbly.
