One of our favorite things to serve with this chicken is crispy butter potatoes. They are one of my favorite things, sometimes late at night I just cook some up for a snack. Yum!

You will need:

  • 2 Cans of sliced white potatoes, drained
  • 2 Tbsp butter – salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp parsley
  • 1/4 tsp dill
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • salt to taste

Melt the butter in a large pan until frothy. Add the potatoes. Stir in all of the spices, adding more or less to your personal tastes. Keep over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the potatoes start to fall apart around the edges, about five minutes. I like to cook them until they are a little crispy.

    I'm not a big fan of BBQ sauce, but using Dr Pepper to cook chicken really intrigues me. We're big chicken eaters in this household. As a child, I remember eating "elbows and meat sauce."
