Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Pierce each potato several times with a fork and place directly onto a baking sheet. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Check for doneness after 1 hour, then every 15 minutes. (90-120 minutes)

04

Step

While the potatoes are baking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Add the cubed chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat. (7 minutes)

06

Step

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the potato flesh into a large mixing bowl, leaving the skins intact. Set the potato skins aside. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Add the softened butter to the bowl with the potato flesh and mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Stir in the cooked chicken, 2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese, and the Buffalo hot sauce until well combined. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Spoon the Buffalo chicken and potato mixture back into the reserved potato skins, mounding it slightly. (10 minutes)

10

Step

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the filled potato skins. (3 minutes)

11

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden, about 20 minutes. (20 minutes)

12

Step

Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy! (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped green onions before serving.
If you prefer a milder flavor, use a less spicy Buffalo sauce or reduce the amount used.
To save time, you can microwave the potatoes until tender, but baking them yields a superior texture and flavor.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, to customize the flavor profile.

    Make sure to not over-bake the potatoes, or the filling will be dry.

    I used blue cheese crumbles instead of cheddar and it gave it an extra kick!
