Description
These Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Cups are a fun and flavorful appetizer perfect for game day or parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 48 frozen tater tots
- 24 pieces frozen popcorn chicken
- ¾ cup Frank’s Buffalo sauce
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC) and spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place 2 frozen tater tots into each cup of the mini muffin pan and bake for 15 minutes until they start to crisp and soften.
- While the tots bake, heat the frozen popcorn chicken in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes until thoroughly warmed.
- In a bowl, combine the hot popcorn chicken with ¾ cup of Frank’s Buffalo sauce, tossing until fully coated. Set aside.
- Remove the tater tots from the oven and use a tamper or similar tool to gently press the tots down, forming cup shapes in each muffin slot.
- Sprinkle a little shredded cheddar cheese into the bottom of each tot cup, then add the buffalo chicken on top, and finally sprinkle additional cheddar cheese over the chicken.
- Return the muffin pan to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
