Tips for making the best tater tot and buffalo chicken casserole.
My casserole was made with a store bought rotisserie chicken. As long as your chicken has been cooked and shredded, you can use the chicken of your choice (great use for leftovers!).
More helpful tips for you.
- You can use your favorite brand of buffalo sauce or red hot sauce. For a little less heat in your casserole then you can substitute half of the buffalo sauce with ranch dressing.
- Freshly grated cheese is always preferred as it melts more smoothly than the store bought grated cheese. Store bought cheese is often treated with something to keep the cheese from sticking together.
- Wait until your casserole has baked for 25 minutes before adding the shredded cheese on top. If the cheese on top is in the oven for too long then it can start to brown and eventually burn (losing that gooey goodness!).
- This recipe can be prepared ahead of time. Simply assemble the ingredients in your dish, cover, and refrigerate overnight or freeze it to make later.
How to store tater tot casserole with chicken.
Once your casserole has fully cooled it should be stored in an airtight container. When properly stored and refrigerated, tater tot casserole should keep for up to five days. You can reheat the casserole in a microwave or air fryer if desired.
