Notes

To take your Buffalo Ranch Chicken Tater Tot Bake to the next level, consider these helpful tips:

Baking Dish Choice: Use a shallow, wide baking dish to ensure the tater tots are in a single layer, allowing for maximum crispiness.

Buffalo Sauce Adjustment: Tweak the amount of buffalo sauce to suit your desired level of spice. Start with 1 cup and add more if you want an extra kick.

Fresh vs. Frozen Ingredients: While convenient, using fresh ingredients like shredded rotisserie chicken and homemade ranch dressing can elevate the flavors even further.

Meal Prep Potential: This bake can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking, making it a great option for easy weeknight dinners or meal prepping.
