48. ### Tips for Success

51. - For an extra layer of flavor, **bake the chicken in advance** to infuse it with some of the hot sauce before adding it to the potatoes.
53. This recipe not only satisfies but also impresses your guests. Add your personal touch by experimenting with different seasonings or toppings!
