# Method:
01 - Heat the oven to 425°F.
02 - Toss chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 40 to 45 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
03 - Scrub russet potatoes, prick with a fork, and bake directly on the oven rack for 1 hour or until tender. Let cool slightly, then cut in half and carefully scoop out most of the flesh leaving a half-inch shell.
04 - Brush potato skins with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and place skin-side down on a baking sheet. Fill each with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Return to the oven for 10 minutes until cheese melts. Sprinkle with sliced green onions.
05 - Combine smoked cocktail sausages with barbecue sauce in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
06 - Arrange celery sticks, carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices on a large serving platter.
07 - In a small bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for the chive dip. Place ranch dressing in a separate bowl.
08 - Arrange chicken wings, potato skins, sausages, and veggie sticks on a large platter. Serve with dips on the side.
