Can I make the Thai chicken wraps in advance?
You can make the sauce in advance, store it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Also, you can prepare the chicken filling and refrigerate which will be good for 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 1 month.

But here the veggies will be soggy so better to leave the veggies out of the chicken when preparing the chicken and store the chopped vegetables separately in a ziplock bag.

Use the lettuce that you like. Crispy lettuce works perfectly. If you get a Boston bib or Iceberg or Romaine hearts, they are best for wraps.

You can make the sauce and chicken filling ahead and refrigerate, just keep the vegetables separately in a zip lock and add them before serving.
