Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Here are some of my best kitchen secrets to ensure your Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps turn out absolutely perfect:

Make-Ahead Advice: You can mix the chicken and sweet chili sauce ahead of time. Just keep it stored in an airtight container in the fridge, so it’s ready when you are!
