First, In a bowl combine your shredded chicken and 1/2 your bottle of buffalo sauce, toss to mix. Then add in your ranch dressing. Mix. You can also add Salt and Pepper to taste.

Next, In a casserole dish lay your chicken mix in the bottom, add 1/2 your bag of cheese on top of the chicken. You can also add in some cooked and crumbled bacon to this layer. Lay the tater tot in rows on top of your chicken.

Then, use the remainder of the cheese on top of the mix.  Using your remaining buffalo sauce, pour it on top of your casserole. (If someone isn’t a huge fan of spice leave a section without the extra buffalo sauce, we left the extra off for my daughter) Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
