Ore-Ida Totchos Recipe & Review - Influenster JingleVoxBox

Hello! I just wanted to hope on here and share the recipe that I used for my Ore-Ida Totchos! I didn't find mine on the Kraft Website so I hope that it is a bit original but if not that's fine too. The recipe was delicious! I encourage others to try it out for themselves!

Note: I am going to be combining my review of this product & the recipe that I used this product in. First will be the recipe and then followed by the review!

Chicken and Tater Tot Waffles
Prep: 25 Minutes
Total: 1 Hour
Serves: 8

Ingredients: 
- 1 1/4 pounds of Chicken Tenders; halved if large
- 2 Cups Buttermilk
- 2 Tablespoons Hot Sauce
- Vegetable Oil, for brushing and deep frying
- 2 Pounds (about 6 cups) frozen Tater Tots, thawed
- 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Teaspoons Paprika
- Kosher Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Granulated Garlic
- 1/2 Cup Honey

Instructions: 
1. Combine the chicken, buttermilk and 1 tablespoon hot sauce in a large bowl; stir to submerge the chicken. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 250F. Preheat a waffle iron (not Belgian) and lightly brush with vegetable oil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Working in batches, fill the waffle iron with a single layer of Tater Tots (they should be touching). Close the waffle iron and cook until browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. (The waffles are done when they release easily without sticking) Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining Tater Tots.

4. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large wide pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360F. Toss the flour, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and the granulated garlic in a large bowl. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture using tongs; reserve the buttermilk mixture and dredge again in the flour. Fry until the chicken is crisp and golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt.

5. Combine the honey, the remaining 1 tablespoon hot sauce and a pinch of salt in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave until just warm. Serve the chicken and waffles with the spicy honey.

Enjoy!

Note: I also shared this recipe on my Food Blog but I didn't specifically say that I used the Ore-Ida Tater Tots! Also for those who are interested I will be linking not only my Food Blog, where I post random recipes that I have found/tried but also the Kraft Ore-Ida Recipe Page! These recipes all look so yummy!

Review Time! 

I can't really say a whole lot about this product except that I did enjoy not only the crisp taste of the tater tots but also how they weren't nearly as greasy as other brands that I have tried. The packaging, while simple in looks, does manage to catch one's eye which is always a good thing. It is very reasonably priced and you get enough to last quite a few meals unless you are making a huge recipe like what is above. I not only recommend this for a family of several but also to someone who is living on their own. Despite the fact that they are tater tots, they are very flexible when it comes to their uses in recipes. And like I said, they aren't that expensive at all. I thank Influenster for the opportunity to try out this delicious product that I have happily added to my freezer for many meals that are yet to come.
