Let’s make it
Chicken Wraps
Marinate chicken strips in buttermilk with 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl for 15 minutes.
Chicken Wraps
In a shallow dish, mix flour with paprika, garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper for dredging chicken.
Chicken Wraps and Fries
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat to 175°C (350°F).
Chicken Wraps
Remove chicken from marinade, dredge each strip in seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
Chicken Wraps
Fry chicken strips in hot oil in batches for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked, turning as needed. Drain on paper towels.
Seasoned Fries
For fries, dry potato strips well and pat with paper towels. Carefully add to hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes until golden and crisp.
Seasoned Fries
Remove fries and drain on paper towels. Immediately toss with garlic powder, onion powder, salt to taste, and a pinch of black pepper.
Chicken Wraps
Warm flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable.
Chicken Wraps
To assemble each wrap, lay tortilla flat, add shredded lettuce, fried chicken strips, chopped bacon, sliced tomato, then drizzle with ranch dressing.
Chicken Wraps
Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in edges as you wrap. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately with the seasoned fries on the side.
Tips & notes
Ensure the oil temperature is steady at around 175°C (350°F) for crispy chicken and fries. Don't overcrowd the pan when frying to maintain crispiness. Marinating chicken in buttermilk tenderizes it nicely. Warm tortillas just before assembling to make wrapping easier.
Saving it for later
Store leftover wraps and fries in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator within 2 hours of cooking. Consume within 3 days. For best texture, reheat wraps gently and fries separately.
Reheating
Reheat wraps in a skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through to preserve crispiness. Reheat fries in a hot oven at 200°C (400°F) for 5-7 minutes until crisp again. Avoid microwaving fries to prevent sogginess.
