- Add the buffalo chicken mixture to a greased 9×13 baking pan and top with shredded cheese and a layer of tater tots.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, after 20 minutes turn the oven to broil and finish baking for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the tater tots are crisp and browned. {Be careful not to burn} To serve, top with prepared ranch dressing and celery leaves.
Notes
You can substitute the ground chicken with ground turkey or shredded rotisserie chicken. If using rotisserie chicken, simply skip the cooking step and mix it directly with the other ingredients.
You can prepare the chicken mixture a day in advance and refrigerate it. When you're ready to bake, just top with cheese and tater tots and pop it in the oven.
