Ingredients
Scale
- 32 oz frozen tater tots (2-pound bag)
- 16 oz shredded rotisserie chicken
- 16 oz shredded pepper jack cheese
- 16 oz Frank’s Buffalo wings sauce
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preparation of Tater Tots Bake or air fry the tater tots according to the instructions on the package. For best results, spread them on a 9×13 inch sheet pan lined with parchment paper to ensure they cook evenly and achieve maximum crispiness.
- Broiling the Dish Once the tater tots are cooked, remove the pan from the oven and adjust the oven setting to broil on high. Layer the shredded chicken evenly over the hot tater tots and then sprinkle the shredded pepper jack cheese on top. Place the pan back in the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese has thoroughly melted and begins to bubble.
- Adding the Finishing Touches Remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle the buffalo sauce generously over the cheesy chicken and tater tots, ensuring a good distribution of flavor. Sprinkle the thinly sliced green onions on top as a fresh, crunchy garnish.
