Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen tater tots These are your base! For a healthier option, try sweet potato tots.
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken Store-bought rotisserie chicken works great here.
- 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce Adjust according to your spice tolerance—Frank's RedHot is a popular choice.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Go for sharp cheddar for extra flavor.
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese A must-have for that classic Buffalo flavor.
- 1/2 cup diced green onions Freshness and crunch.
- 1/2 cup sour cream For drizzling on top—use Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking the chicken if you’re not using shredded rotisserie chicken.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure crispy tater tots.
- Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Cooking the Chicken
- If you’re not using rotisserie chicken, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add shredded chicken and toss with Buffalo wing sauce until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Assembly
- Once the tater tots are cooked, remove them from the oven and layer them with the Buffalo chicken, cheddar cheese, and blue cheese crumbles.
- Return the loaded tater tots to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with diced green onions. Drizzle sour cream on top.
Notes
To store leftovers, allow them to cool before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave, but be aware that the texture may soften.
