Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup your favorite hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup Ranch dressing (plus more for drizzling)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces if using breasts. In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a second dish, whisk the milk and egg. In a third dish, place the hot sauce.
  2. Dredge the chicken: Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat again in the flour mixture for a thick crust.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Carefully fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes. Remove chicken and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Make the buffalo sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the melted butter and hot sauce. Heat gently until combined.
  5. Toss the chicken: Place the crispy chicken pieces in a bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over them. Toss until the chicken is fully coated.
  6. Prepare the creamy slaw: In a small bowl, mix the Ranch dressing with the shredded lettuce and carrots.
  7. Assemble the wraps: Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Lay a tortilla flat. Place a portion of the sauced buffalo chicken down the center. Top with the creamy slaw mixture and blue cheese crumbles, if using.
  8. Fold and serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper to your flour dredge.
  • If you prefer not to fry, you can bake or air fry the breaded chicken until cooked through, then toss in the sauce.
  • Use rotisserie chicken if you want an even quicker meal, skipping steps 1 through 3.
