Hot Wings Lettuce Wraps
Hot Wings-style Lettuce Wraps that are a little less spicier than regular hot wings with the addition of honey and lime to the sauce. These wraps are a little spicy with a crunch from the fresh celery, cucumber, and carrots. The blue cheese sauce is the perfect dressing to compliment the Hot Wings Lettuce Wraps!
