  1. 1

    Gather all the ingredients.

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

    In a large skillet over low heat, warm the hot pepper sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt, stirring until fully combined. Turn off the heat.

    Toss the potatoes in batches with the hot pepper sauce mixture to coat, then use a slotted spoon to move the potatoes to the prepared baking dish. Leave the remaining sauce in the skillet.

  5. 5

    Stir the chicken into the remaining sauce and let it marinate while the potatoes roast.

  6. 6

    Bake the potatoes until tender inside and crisp and browned on the outside, 45 to 50 minutes, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes.

    Lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
