Ingredients
Instructions
-
Bake the tater tots. Preheat your oven according to the tater tot package directions, typically 425°F. Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
-
Get them extra crispy. Bake according to the package instructions until golden brown and crispy. Add another 3–5 minutes if needed. Crispy tots are the key to keeping your loaded totchos from getting soggy.
-
Make the buffalo chicken. While the tots bake, add the cooked shredded chicken to a large mixing bowl. Pour in the Frank’s RedHot Original Hot Sauce, melted butter, and garlic powder. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
-
Load the totchos. Once the tater tots are crispy, reduce the oven temperature to 400°F. Spread the buffalo chicken evenly over the tots.
-
Add the cheese and bacon. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the chicken, then top with the cooked, crumbled bacon.
-
Bake until bubbly. Return the baking sheet to the oven for 5–8 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
-
Add the finishing touches. Remove from the oven and drizzle with ranch dressing. Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top.
-
Serve immediately. Enjoy these loaded Buffalo Chicken Totchos while they're hot, cheesy, and crispy!
