Ingredients

  • 4 Russet Baking Potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt + more for serving
  • ½ pound grilled chicken shredded
  • ¼ cup Sweet and Tangy BBQ Sauce
  • ¼ cup softened butter
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • fresh ground pepper
  • Sour Cream optional for serving
  • Chopped Chives optional for serving

Instructions

  • Scrub the potatoes and dry well.
  • Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. 
  • Pierce potatoes with a large tined fork.
  • If using a charcoal grill, wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil, we used our pellet grill for this recipe so we did not wrap the potatoes.
  • Place potatoes on a grill over indirect fire and cook with the grill closed for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Potatoes are cooked through at 205° internal temperature, using a digital meat thermometer.
  • Remove potatoes from the grill. 
  • If you are using leftover chicken, heat the chicken in a foil packet on the grill for the last 20 minutes of cooking time with the potatoes or heat in a skillet on the stove top over medium heat.
  • Split potatoes and add butter, salt and fresh ground pepper. 
  • Top with shredded cheese and chopped chicken.
  • Drizzle with BBQ sauce. 
  • Serve with sour cream and chopped chives if desired.

Notes

  • Store leftover baked potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
  • Wrap whole baked potatoes in foil and reheat in oven or on the grill until heated through.
