# Preparation Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Arrange wings on a baking sheet in a single layer.
02 - Bake wings for 40 to 45 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
03 - Scrub russet potatoes and prick each with a fork several times. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for 1 hour or until tender.
04 - Remove potatoes from oven and let cool slightly. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out flesh, leaving a half-inch thick shell.
05 - Brush potato skins with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Position skin-side down on a baking sheet, stuff with shredded cheddar and crumbled bacon, then bake for 10 minutes until cheese melts. Garnish with sliced green onions.
06 - Combine smoked cocktail sausages and barbecue sauce in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
07 - Arrange celery sticks, carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices evenly on a large serving platter.
08 - In a bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
09 - Arrange chicken wings, potato skins, mini sausages, and veggie sticks on a large platter. Serve with chive dip and ranch dressing on the side.
