Loaded Buffalo Chicken Baked Potatoes Food

LOADED BUFFALO CHICKEN BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rub the oil over the outside of the pricked potatoes and liberally season with salt and pepper.
• Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack (I place a piece of tin foil on the rack below to catch any drippings) and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly and then make an incision lengthwise in each to create a pocket (depending on the size of your potatoes, you may want to simply halve them. I was working with medium-sized potatoes, and that's what I ended up doing). Squeeze gently so the inside of the potato is exposed. Using a fork, fluff up the insides of the potato and scoop into a large mixing bowl. Add a pat of butter and stir until mixed. Set aside.
• While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and then add to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Shred or chop the chicken and place in the bowl with the potato innards. Stir in the buffalo sauce and dressings and mix until everything is well combined. Stir in half of the shredded cheese and cooked bacon. Taste and adjust the buffalo sauce, if needed.
• Place the split potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Fill each one with the buffalo chicken filling and top with the remaining shredded cheese and bacon. Return the potatoes to the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the filling is warmed through.
• Garnish the stuffed potatoes with bleu cheese crumbles, scallions, herbs, and a drizzle of additional dressing or buffalo sauce. Serve immediately.

BUFFALO CHICKEN BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 ̊. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork, rub with a little vegetable or olive oil and bake on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet until tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour.
• When the potatoes are almost done, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Stir in the blue cheese and 2 tablespoons of the chives; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the hot sauce. Add the chicken and cook, tossing, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Keep warm.
• Split open the baked potatoes lengthwise; press the ends together to open them up. Top each potato with 1 tablespoon of the blue cheese dressing and season lightly with salt. Use a fork to mash the dressing into the potatoes. Top with the chicken mixture, then another tablespoon of dressing. Sprinkle with the celery and carrot. Top with more blue cheese and the remaining 2 tablespoons chives. Serve with the remaining dressing.
