Note

Store prepared wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

These are designed to be portable; keep them in a cooler with ice packs if transporting to a picnic.

If you do not have a smoker, you can bake the chicken at 300&# 194;°F (150°C) for 45-60 minutes, though the flavor profile will be milder.

Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before wrapping.
