01
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 500 degrees F and greasing a 9x13-inch casserole dish with some cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, ranch dressing, Buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to make a flavorful sauce. Toss the potatoes in the sauce until they’re fully coated, then spread them out in the casserole dish.

Step 2
Next, add the chicken to the remaining sauce in the bowl and give it a good stir to coat everything well. Pop the chicken in the fridge to marinate for about 30 minutes while the potatoes roast. Roast the potatoes in the oven, stirring once halfway through, until they’re tender and nicely cooked—this should take around 30 minutes.

Step 3
Once the potatoes are ready, mix the marinated chicken in with them and keep roasting everything together, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are perfectly tender, about 15 to 30 minutes more.

Step 4
While that’s cooking, fry up the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until it’s crispy and browned, then drain it on some paper towels. Crumble the bacon into a bowl and mix in the shredded Colby Jack cheese and chopped green onions.

Step 5
Sprinkle this cheesy, bacon mixture over the chicken and potatoes, then pop the casserole back in the oven just until the cheese melts and bubbles—about 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly before serving, and enjoy!
