Cook the Chicken:

• Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, allowing it to develop a nice crust.
• After searing, transfer the chicken to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 10 minutes until fully cooked.

Make the Secret Sauce:

• In a bowl, combine the chicken broth and hot sauce, adjusting the amount of hot sauce to your taste. It should be bright red and flavorful.

Prepare the Tortillas:

• Dip each tortilla into the chicken broth and hot sauce mixture to soak in flavor.
