Instructions
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus. Finely chop chives. Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) in a medium microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Stir in panko, half the Fry Seasoning, half the cheddar, salt, and pepper.
Lightly oil a baking sheet. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt, pepper, and remaining Fry Seasoning. Place on one side of prepared sheet (for 4 servings, spread out across entire sheet). Evenly spread a thin layer of mayonnaise onto tops of chicken (you might not use all the mayo); mound with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). Roast on top rack until lightly browned, 10-15 minutes (you’ll add the asparagus then).
While chicken roasts, place potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, dry pan over medium-high heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Once bacon is cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
Once chicken is lightly browned, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss asparagus on empty side with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, add asparagus to a second sheet; roast on middle rack.) Continue roasting until asparagus is tender and chicken is cooked through, 10-12 minutes more. TIP: For a deeply golden crust, broil chicken for the last 2-3 minutes.
Once potatoes are tender, reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. Return potatoes to pot and add sour cream, remaining cheddar, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Mash until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Stir in half the bacon and half the chives. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide chicken, potatoes, and asparagus between plates. Top potatoes with remaining bacon and chives. Serve.
