Preheaat oven 500 ° F (260 ° C). Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish with vegetable oil.

In a large skillet over low heat, heat together the hot sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, pepper, paprika and salt. In small batches at a time, transfer the potatoes to the pan and toss to cover them with the sauce; transfer to baking dish using a slotted spoon. Then place the chicken in the remaining sauce and let marinate while the potatoes cook.
