These Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Bites would be the perfect easy game day snack recipe, or heck, you could even serve them as dinner.

Some of our favorite meals around here consist of snacks and appetizers.

These crispy tater tot cups filled with buffalo chicken and cheese would be a yummy addition to one of our “snacky snack dinners” as we call them 🙂

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Bites

First, thaw 36 tater tots.

Thawing is important because we will be smashing them into little cups to take the shape of muffin tins.

I just sprayed a muffin tin with nonstick spray and set three tots in each space.

Then just let it sit like this until the tots are thawed.

Next, use a shot glass or small cup to smash them and press into little cups.

Bake the cups by themselves for 15 to 17 minutes at 450 degrees.

As the tots are baking, make the filling by combining a cup of cooked, chopped chicken, 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, and 1/2 cup of cheese.

Fill each with the cheesy, buffalo chicken and save some cheese to sprinkle over top if you’d like.

Then back into the 450 degree oven for another few minutes.

Just enough time to warm the filling and get that cheese on top nice and melty 🙂

Serve Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Bites with ranch dressing over top and chives for garnish 🙂
