📝 Preparation Steps
1
Marinate Chicken (See notes for rotisserie)
2
Whisk together all of the Buffalo Marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Measure out ¼ cup and add to a shallow dish or freezer bag, along with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add chicken and toss evenly to coat. Marinate while you prep the rest of the ingredients at room temperature, or preferable in the refrigerator for ⏱️ 2 hours, up to overnight.

To the remaining marinade, whisk in 1 tablespoon honey and 1 ½ teaspoons lime juice to make the "Glaze." Reserve for later.

Cook Chicken
5
Stovetop: Let chicken sit at roomtemperature for ⏱️ 20-30 minutes if it has been refrigerated. Heat a large grill pan (preferred) or non-stick skillet over medium high-heat. Add chicken and cook, undisturbed for ⏱️ 3-5 minutes, or until nicely seared on the bottom (watch closely because the honey can char, turn heat down if needed). Flip chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 5-7 more minutes, to 160 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.

6
Grill: Let chicken sit at roomtemperature for ⏱️ 20-30 minutes if it has been refrigerated. Grease and preheat the grill to 400°F. Grill chicken undisturbed with the lid closed for ⏱️ 5-7 minutes per side, until chicken is cooked to 160 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.
7
Glaze and Slice
8
Transfer chicken to a cutting board and rest for ⏱️ 5 minutes to carryover to 165 degrees F. Meanwhile, brush the chicken with desired amount of glaze – for more heat, more glaze; for less heat, less glaze. Thinly slice the chicken.

Roll up tortillas burrito style by folding in the edges of the tortilla next to the filling, folding up the bottom over the filling, then tightly rolling from the bottom, squeezing in any escaping filling as you roll. Place seam side down.
12
To toast (optional, recommended): Heat a cast iron skillet or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add wraps and toast, rotating as each side turns golden.
