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.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPierce each potato several times with a fork and place directly onto a baking sheet. (2 minutes)
03
StepBake 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
StepWhile the potatoes are baking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. (3 minutes)
05
StepAdd 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
StepOnce 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
StepAdd 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
StepStir in the cooked chicken, 2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese, and the Buffalo hot sauce until well combined. (5 minutes)
09
StepSpoon the Buffalo chicken and potato mixture back into the reserved potato skins, mounding it slightly. (10 minutes)
10
StepSprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the filled potato skins. (3 minutes)
11
StepBake 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
StepLet cool slightly before serving. Enjoy! (5 minutes)
