Equipment

air fryer or use a standard oven
sheet pan
parchment paper

Ingredients

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

Cook tater tots. Bake or air fry tater tots according to the package directions. Use a 9x13 sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
When done, remove from oven and turn oven to broil - high.
Add chicken and cheese. Layer on shredded chicken and cheese then broil on high for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and starts to bubble.
Garnish and serve. Remove totchos from the oven and top them with the buffalo sauce and green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cooking tater tots in the air fryer gives them extra crisp, but the oven will work as well.
Using shredded rotisserie chicken really cuts down on the prep time for this recipe and gives you chicken that is already seasoned; however, you are more than welcome to cook and shred your own chicken with your favorite seasonings if you have some extra time.
Another great way to use your buffalo sauce is by tossing your chicken in half of the buffalo sauce. This will give your chicken and tater tots some extra buffalo flavor while the totchos cook.
Other cheeses you can use include mozzarella, white cheddar, and colby jack.
