01
Step 1
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine whiskey, brown sugar, ketchup, hot sauce, butter, vinegar, cayenne, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder. Stir occasionally and cook until the mixture starts bubbling, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer gently until it thickens up like syrup, which should take around 15 more minutes. Take it off the heat and let it cool.

Step 2
Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook, turning now and then, until they're cooked through and no longer pink inside—about 10 minutes. If you have a thermometer, the thickest part should read 165°F.

Step 3
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a cutting board and shred it using two forks. Pour out the oil from the skillet but don’t clean it. Put the shredded chicken back in, turn the heat to low, and pour the sauce over it. Stir everything together for a minute or two until the chicken is well coated and the sauce clings nicely.

Step 4
Next, warm a clean skillet over low heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet and toast it for about a minute until it's warm, then flip it over. Lay two slices of provolone cheese on the warm side and let it melt just a bit, about another minute. Spoon a quarter of the saucy chicken onto the tortilla, then wrap it up snugly. Keep going with the rest of the tortillas, cheese, and chicken until you’ve got a batch of tasty wraps ready to enjoy.

How to serve
Serve with a side of crisp celery sticks and a cool ranch or blue cheese dip to balance the heat. A fresh green salad or baked sweet potato fries also pair well with the wrap.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the sauce separate if possible to prevent the wrap from becoming soggy. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
