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

  1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC) and spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. 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.
  3. While the tots bake, heat the frozen popcorn chicken in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes until thoroughly warmed.
  4. In a bowl, combine the hot popcorn chicken with ¾ cup of Frank’s Buffalo sauce, tossing until fully coated. Set aside.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Return the muffin pan to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
