Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

02

Step
10 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, ranch dressing, Buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to create a flavorful sauce. Add the potato cubes and toss until thoroughly coated. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared casserole dish.

03

Step
30 mins

Return the chicken cubes to the sauce bowl and toss to coat evenly with the remaining sauce. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes to absorb the vibrant flavors.

04

Step
45 mins

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender. Then, stir in the marinated chicken. Continue roasting, stirring occasionally, for an additional 15 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken and potatoes are cooked through and tender.

05

Step
10 mins

While the chicken and potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy. Drain the cooked bacon slices on paper towels to remove excess grease.

06

Step
5 mins

Once cooled slightly, crumble the bacon into a bowl. Add the shredded Colby Jack cheese and chopped green onions to the crumbled bacon and mix well to combine.

07

Step
5 mins

Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the roasted potatoes and chicken in the casserole dish. Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a drizzle of blue cheese dressing or a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese on top of the casserole before serving.
Feel free to adjust the amount of Buffalo wing sauce to suit your preferred level of spiciness. For a milder flavor, use less sauce; for a bolder kick, add more.
To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon or bacon bits. However, freshly cooked bacon will provide the best flavor and texture.
Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
