For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the chicken before cubing it. Toasting the pecans enhances their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your personal spice preference. Serve chilled on lettuce wraps, crackers, or as a filling for sandwiches and croissants.
