I agree with Heather M. - the instructions are ambiguous, but only because paragraph 8, "Once the potatoes are fully cooked add the marinated chicken," is out of sequence. I think it was supposed to be a single step that reads, "Once the potatoes are fully cooked, remove from the oven, lower the oven temperature to 400°F, and top the potatoes with the marinated chicken." Then you mix up the toppings, sprinkle it over the chicken, put it back in the oven, etc. -
What brand of Hot sauce did you use? 6 Tbsp scares me.
-
At what point do you combine the chicken and potatoes or is it two separate dishes? You don't put the raw chicken mixture on top of cooked potatoes. -
I am unclear about step 8 and 9. They both start out...'Once the potatoes are fully cooked....then 2 different instructions? Can you please clarify? -
Can this recipe be downsized for smaller amt. and what changes need to be made.

I put this recipe in the crock pot ! It was fabulous and the entire family loves it. Just put the potatoes in first for two hours on high then add the chicken for two hours and top when potatoes are tender and chicken is fully cooked! YUMMY!

I only put about half the hot sauce and added some BBQ sauce(little mouths too feed ;). I also added 1/2 cup corn, 3 rolls of frozen chopped spinach, 1/4 each red,yellow and orange peppers :) delicious!

This was a fantastic dish! My family loved it. I would recommend to cook the chicken for 30 minutes and add toppings the last 10 minutes of baking time. I would definitely make this dish again.

Sour cream for a topper ???? -
I parboiled the potatoes first, to reduce the baking time by about half. -
The hot sauce from 6 tablespoons to 3. -
This is one of our favorites! I use red skin potatoes, Frank's Buffalo, and regular garlic. I leave out the paprika because I just don't like it

Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks.

I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons.
