Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, sour cream, unsalted cream of chicken soup, buffalo wing sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients. Gently fold in the frozen tater tots so they are well coated with the mixture.
Assemble Casserole: Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the chopped celery on top of the casserole for a fresh crunch and pop of color.
Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the tater tots on top are golden and crispy.
Serve: Remove casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your flavorful Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Casserole!

Notes

You can adjust the amount of buffalo wing sauce to increase or decrease the spice level according to your taste.
Use cooked chicken from a rotisserie or leftover chicken for convenience.
For a healthier version, consider using low-fat sour cream and reduced-fat cheese.
The chopped celery topping adds a nice textural contrast but can be omitted if preferred.
Ensure the cream of chicken soup is unsalted or low sodium to control overall salt content.
