Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Submitted by DixonBookLover

"This is a great Thai recipe because it only has one semi-specialty ingredient, the Thai chili sauce, and it's not very expensive. I found it at the grocery store in my rural town, so I know it will be at your store! It's so, so good. Don't be tempted to leave out the raisins, because they really make it!"
