Instructions

1. 1Prepare your mashed potatoes with butter until smooth and creamy, keeping them warm in a covered pot over low heat. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
2. 2Dice your crispy fried chicken into bite-sized pieces, approximately ½-inch cubes. Keep the chicken warm in a 200°F oven if not assembling immediately.
3. 3Heat the corn kernels in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Drain any excess liquid completely.
4. 4Warm your chicken gravy in a separate saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches a pourable consistency, about 4-5 minutes.
5. 5Begin assembly by spooning 1¼ cups of warm mashed potatoes into the bottom of a large serving bowl, spreading them evenly to create an insulating base layer.
6. 6Layer approximately ¾ cup of diced crispy chicken over the mashed potatoes, distributing evenly across the surface.
7. 7Sprinkle the warmed corn kernels over the chicken layer, covering the surface completely.
8. 8Top with shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to begin melting from the heat of the layers beneath.
9. 9Drizzle the warm gravy generously over the entire bowl, starting from the center and working outward in a circular motion.
10. 10Garnish with bacon bits scattered across the top, then finish with freshly chopped scallions for color and freshness.
11. 11Serve immediately while all components are still warm to maintain the ideal temperature contrast and prevent sogginess.
