9. Brush the cooked chicken generously with the hot honey buffalo sauce.
10. Warm the tortillas until soft and flexible.
11. Layer chopped romaine lettuce in the center of each tortilla.

FAQ

Can I make Hot Honey Buffalo Chicken Wraps ahead of time?

Yes. Store the chicken separately and assemble the wraps just before serving to keep them fresh and crisp.

Can I air fry the chicken?

Absolutely. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

What cheese works best?

Blue cheese is classic, but cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella are delicious alternatives.

Can I make these wraps less spicy?

Yes. Reduce the buffalo sauce or use mild buffalo sauce and regular honey instead of hot honey.

What sides go well with these wraps?

French fries, sweet potato fries, coleslaw, potato salad, or a simple green salad are all great choices.

Storage

• Refrigerator: Store cooked chicken for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
