Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, ranch dressing, cream of chicken soup, and buffalo wing sauce. Stir until fully blended.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chicken mixture.
Layer the frozen tater tots on top of the cheese in a single, even layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
