Irresistible Honey Buffalo Chicken Wraps Recipe

Ingredients

• Sauce:
• 1/4 cup of whiskey, known for its Tennessee Honey flavor
• 1/4 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup of ketchup for a tangy base
• 2 tablespoons of hot pepper sauce like the iconic Frank's RedHot®
• 2 tablespoons of butter to add richness
• 1 tablespoon of white vinegar for a hint of acidity
• 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick
• 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for extra heat
• 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder to enhance the flavor
• Wraps:
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil for a light sauté
• 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
• 4 (6-inch) flour tortillas for wrapping
• 8 slices of provolone cheese for a gooey, melty finish

Step 1

Combine a medley of whiskey, brown sugar, ketchup, hot sauce, butter, vinegar, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder in a saucepan set over medium heat. Stir the concoction occasionally until it starts to bubble, typically around 5 minutes. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens to a syrupy consistency, taking approximately 15 more minutes. Once done, remove it from the heat to cool down.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a spacious skillet, warm up some olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts in the oil, flipping them from time to time, until they lose their pink hue and the juices run clear, which usually takes about 10 minutes. Confirm the doneness by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the center, ensuring it reads a minimum of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 3

Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and use two forks to shred it into delectable pieces. Dispose of excess oil from the skillet without cleaning it further. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and place it over low heat. Drizzle the prepared sauce over the chicken, stirring gently until the chicken is thoroughly coated and the sauce adheres beautifully to the strands, a process that may take 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 4

Next, warm up a fresh skillet over low heat. Toast a tortilla until it's nice and warm, usually around 1 minute. Flip the tortilla and sprinkle 2 slices of provolone cheese on top. Allow the cheese to melt slightly, which should take about 1 more minute. Spoon around a quarter of the chicken mixture onto the tortilla and wrap the tortilla snugly around the luscious filling. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and chicken mixture for a scrumptious final result.
