Common Questions
Can I use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Absolutely! Chicken thighs offer a rich and juicy flavor. Bake them at 375F for 20-25 minutes.
How spicy should I make the wrap?
Start with mild buffalo sauce and adjust the amount you add to the chicken based on your heat preference. Drizzle extra hot sauce on top of the finished wrap for an extra kick.
