Info and tips for buffalo chicken lettuce wraps

For this recipe you will have a little liquid left over after cooking the chicken. One cup with be reserved for the buffalo chicken, but the rest can be used for whatever you want! You could use it for soups, stews, pasta sauces… it’s up to you!

Since we are using the instant pot you only need to pressure cook for 15 minutes on high. Then let it naturally release and you will be left with the most tender chicken that falls apart. I like to use butter lettuce for serving but you can also use romain!
