In this post I’ll be sharing an easy Buffalo Chicken Wrap Recipe.

 
 
These Buffalo Chicken Wraps are so good y’all! Easy to make too. Serve a platter up at your next football party or an easy weeknight dinner.
 
This meal is great for busy families because it is so quick to put together. Picking up some fried chicken tenders from your local chicken restaurant makes it even easier. Of course you can fry your own chicken pieces if you have chicken on hand to use.
 
Ingredients:
 
Fresh Chicken Breast Cutlets ( thin chicken breast) or Chicken Tenderloins – you typically will get 8-10 per package
Buffalo Sauce
Ranch, Mayonnaise, or Blue Cheese Dressing – your choice
Shredded Cut Lettuce
Shredded Cheddar Cheese, or your choice favorite cheese
Tortilla Wraps
Any other toppings you might like in a wrap such as sliced jalapenos, tomatoes, onions

Buffalo Chicken Wrap Recipe

 
For Dredging Chicken:
 
1 1/2 c All Purpose Flour
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Onion Powder
1 tbs Paprika
1/2 tsp dried Thyme
1 c Buttermilk
1 Egg
Cooking Oil – enough for frying (about 1/4″ in a large skillet since the cutlets are thin
 
Add oil to skillet and heat over medium high heat. In a medium bowl combine egg (beaten) and buttermilk, mix to combine. In another medium bowl combine flour and seasonings, combine and use tines of a fork to press out any lumps in the flour. Turn the heat down to medium under your skillet.
 
Take each chicken piece and dredge in flour, then add to egg/buttermilk mix, then back to flour mixture and dread. Add to oil to fry. Since the cutlets or tenderloins aren’t thick it will only take a few minutes. Brown on each side, turning every few minutes. Takes about 12 – 15 minutes to cook chicken. Add the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain and cool.
 
To assemble wraps: Take a wrap and spread your dressing or mayo. Cut 1 piece of chicken into chunks and add to the wrap, dash with buffalo sauce. Add cheese, lettuce and other toppings and wrap.
 
Typically you only need 1 piece of chicken per wrap so however many pieces you have are how many wraps you get. You can make a platter of these wraps for your get together, or serve for dinner. I usually have leftover fried chicken cutlets – YUM cold chicken! Score! If you prefer not to use the chicken fried, just omit the dredge and saute the chicken pieces in olive oil.
