Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C.
  2. Place the potatoes on a plate and microwave on high for 7 mins. Carefully turn over, using a pair of tongs, and microwave for a further 7-8 mins until they are soft in the centre. Cook for a little longer if your potatoes are particularly large.
  3. Place on a tray in the preheated oven to crisp up whilst you make the filling.
  4. In a bowl, mix together the soured cream, lemon juice, hot sauce, smoked paprika and Worcestershire sauce. Season to taste and add more hot sauce if you like it spicy.
  5. Stir the chicken and most of the celery and chives through the sauce, mix until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Cut the potatoes in half and divide the chicken filling between them. Top with the remaining celery and chives, and drizzle over some extra hot sauce, if you like.
