💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Coat chicken chunks in cornflour at a 1:8 ratio (cornflour to chicken weight) and let rest 10 minutes to create a moisture barrier that prevents the buffalo sauce from making the coating soggy.technique1:8 ratio, 10 minutes
- ✓Salt your coleslaw vegetables and let drain for 15 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture - this removes up to 30% of water content and prevents soggy burritos.ingredient15 minutes, 30% moisture reduction
- ✓Heat buffalo sauce to exactly 180°F before tossing with chicken because this temperature allows optimal coating without breaking the emulsion of butter and hot sauce.timing180°F
- ✓Warm your tortilla for 30 seconds in a dry pan at medium heat to activate the gluten and make it 40% more pliable for tight rolling without cracking.technique30 seconds, 40% more pliable
