A lighter version of classic buffalo chicken wings served in crisp lettuce wraps for a satisfying meal with bold flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup Franks Red Hot Wing Sauce
  • ½ teaspoon celery seed
  • Fresh pepper to taste
  • ½ cup thinly sliced celery
  • Blue cheese crumbles (for topping)
  • Ranch dressing (for drizzling)
  • 2 heads of lettuce (romaine or iceberg, rinsed and patted dry)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pan, cook and shred your chicken. To prepare mine, I simply place the chicken in the pan over medium/high heat with ½ cup of water. I use two forks to shred it as it cooks. By the time it’s finished, all of the water will have evaporated.
  2. Combine the Fats: Keep the pan on medium/low heat. Add butter and olive oil, stirring until melted and well combined.
  3. Add the Heat: Pour in the hot sauce, sprinkle in the celery seed, and add fresh pepper to taste. Stir well, allowing the ingredients to mingle for a minute or two.
  4. Mix in the Celery: Remove from heat and fold in the thinly sliced celery, mixing it through the spicy chicken mixture for extra crunch and flavor.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: To assemble each lettuce wrap, scoop a spoonful of the warm chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf. Top generously with blue cheese crumbles and drizzle with ranch dressing.
  6. Serve Immediately: Serve these wraps right away while the chicken is still warm and the lettuce is crisp for the ultimate flavor experience!

Notes

For easy shredding, ensure your chicken is cooked fully and is still hot; adjust hot sauce based on heat preference.
