Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Coarse salt
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, diced fine
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • Optional: Crumbled blue cheese, extra buffalo sauce, carrot sticks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Scrub potatoes, poke with a fork, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 45-60 minutes until tender and skins are crispy.
  2. While potatoes bake, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  3. Once potatoes are baked, let them cool slightly. Cut each potato open lengthwise, fluff the flesh with a fork, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Divide the buffalo chicken mixture among the potatoes. Top with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
  5. Return potatoes to the oven for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove from oven, top with sour cream, ranch or blue cheese dressing, green onions, celery, and chives. Add optional toppings if desired.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken is a convenient option for the shredded chicken.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo wing sauce to control the spice level.
  • Sweet potatoes can be used as an alternative to russet potatoes.
  • Leftover stuffed potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
