Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. This recipe is forgiving. Preparing the potatoes and chicken a day ahead makes final assembly quick, and flavors often settle well overnight.

Is there a good substitute for Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce?

Yes. Use a mild garlic cream sauce or mix mayonnaise with a little grated Parmesan and a dash of vinegar for tang. Start with small amounts and taste as you go.

How do I keep the potatoes from getting soggy when storing?

Cool the potatoes thoroughly before storing and use airtight containers. When reheating, crisp them in the air fryer or under the broiler briefly to restore texture.

Can I use bone-in chicken instead of cubed breasts?

You can, but it will change the timing. Bone-in pieces need more oven or skillet time and will require finishing in the oven to reach a safe internal temperature without overcooking the exterior.

What pan should I use if I don’t want to broil the cheese?

A heavy skillet with a tight-fitting lid works well. Cover the pan until the cheese melts gently to avoid broiler use while still achieving a soft, melted top.
