- 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

- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, diced fine

Instructions
- 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.
- While potatoes bake, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.

- Divide the buffalo chicken mixture among the potatoes. Top with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Return potatoes to the oven for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven, top with sour cream, ranch or blue cheese dressing, green onions, celery, and chives. Add optional toppings if desired.
