Jennifer Allen
Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps might not be the first thing you picture when you think of Southern comfort food, but hear me out. They’ve got that fiery kick we love, a cool crunch, and a creamy drizzle to tie it all together.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon or tongs
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Paper towels or salad spinner
  • Serving plate or tray

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • ⅓ cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter optional, for milder sauce
  • 8 pieces large lettuce leaves like romaine or butter lettuce
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ¼ cup blue cheese or ranch dressing

Instructions
 

  • Place the shredded chicken in a bowl. Pour in the buffalo wing sauce. If you want a milder flavor, stir in the melted butter too. Mix everything until the chicken is coated.
  • Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Lay them flat on a plate or cutting board so they’re ready to fill.
  • Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf. Don’t overfill, just enough for a few good bites.
  • Sprinkle the diced celery over the chicken. Then drizzle your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing on top.
  • Fold the lettuce around the filling like a taco, or just pick it up and bite in. Serve right away while everything is cool and crisp.
