Shredded Buffalo Chicken
What kind of chicken to use?
I typically use leftover rotisserie chicken, just because that’s usually what I’ve got on hand. However, you can definitely cook up some fresh chicken and use that instead if you’d prefer. In both cases, I recommend shredding the chicken, as opposed to dicing it. That way it’s more likely to stay intact in the wrap and it soaks up the sauce a little easier.
What kind of sauce to use?
For this recipe, I do use a homemade buffalo sauce, but feel free to use store-bought if that is more convenient for you. In such case, I recommend Franks Red Hot Buffalo Wings Sauce. Just definitely make sure it’s not regular hot sauce, otherwise, your mouth will be in flames!
Buffalo Chicken Wraps
I love a lettuce, cabbage and carrot combo. I think it really works, especially in the context of buffalo chicken. It offers the perfect amount of colour, crunch and flavour whilst still allowing the chicken to champion the wrap. I find things such as tomatoes and cucumber a little distracting. Plus they’ve got pretty high water contents, which alongside the buffalo chicken and blue cheese sauce could turn things a little sloppy! But either way, stick with a flour tortilla and keep the salad:chicken ratio under control and you’ll be fine.
Do I serve these hot or cold?
I recommend cold. You could warm them up by toasting them in a dry pan, or, heating the buffalo sauce before mixing it with the chicken and heating the wraps. However the steam softens the veg pretty quickly, so they tend to be a tad sloppy.
What else could I add to these wraps?
These wraps are awesome as they are, but you could consider the following:
Cheese (Monterey Jack works great) Bacon Spring Onion Celery Avocado
As I mentioned, I’d steer away from things such as cucumber and tomato, otherwise, the wraps end up on the soggier side!
Can I make buffalo chicken wraps ahead of time?
Personally, I like making wraps fresh. Especially these as they are quite saucy (buffalo sauce/blue cheese sauce) the veg & wrap tends to go soggy if made in advance. If you want to get ahead of the game you can still make the blue cheese sauce and combine chicken with buffalo sauce and cover/store overnight in the fridge.
