Ingredients you’ll need:

To wrap the chicken tenders (2-4 pieces per Wrap):

• Chicken tenders 1 lb (about 6-8 pieces).
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornstarch for extra crispiness
• 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons of onion powder
• Paprika, 1 tablespoon
• Cayenne pepper, optional (for heat), 1/2 teaspoon
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• Black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon
• 1 egg
• 12 cup buttermilk
• Vegetable Oil (for Frying)

The Wrap:

• The size of the wraps will determine the number of flour tortillas you need.
• You can use any greens or lettuce you like.
• Cane’s Sauce, 1/2 cup (recipe or store-bought)
• For extra richness, add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese

Cane’s Sauce Homemade Version:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Half a teaspoon of lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• Black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken tenders:

• Prepare the Chicken: If necessary, trim the chicken tenders until they are the size you prefer. To remove any excess moisture, pat the tenders with paper towels.
• Marinate: In the bowl, whisk buttermilk and eggs together. In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Submerge your chicken tenders into the mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic Wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or more. Marinating chicken helps to tenderize it and enhances its flavour.

2. Prepare the chicken Coating

• Mix the Coating. In a shallow dish, combine the cornstarch, flour, garlic powder and onion powder. Add the paprika (if you are using it), cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture together until it is evenly combined.
• After marinating, remove the tenders and coat them with the flour mixture. Be sure to evenly coat each tender with the flour mixture. To ensure that the flour sticks, press gently to ensure that it adheres well.

3. Fry the chicken tenders:

• Heat the Oil. In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Drop a little flour in the oil to test the temperature. If the flour sizzles in the oil, it is ready for frying.
• Fry the chicken: Drop the tenders one at a time into the hot oil. Fry the chicken tenders until they are golden brown and crispy. Place the tenders on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

4. Cane’s Sauce:

• Mix the Sauce. In a small dish, combine mayonnaise with ketchup. Add the garlic powder, paprika and Worcestershire sauce. Also, add the lemon juice, pepper, salt, and paprika. Stir the Sauce until it is smooth and well combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

5. Assemble Wrap:

• Tortillas: To make the tortillas more flexible, heat the flour tortillas in a skillet on each side for 30 seconds.
• Assemble your Wrap: Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Place 2-3 crispy chicken tenders in the middle of the tortilla. Add a handful of shredded lettuce and drizzle Cane’s Sauce on top of the chicken. You can also sprinkle some cheese on top to add an extra layer.
• Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of your tortilla over the filling, and then tightly roll the tortilla to seal the Wrap. Wrap the filling tightly.

6. Serve:

• Serve immediately: Cut the Wrap into half on a slight diagonal to create a neat presentation. You can serve extra Cane’s Sauce as a dip. Enjoy your homemade Raising Cane’s Chicken Wrap.

The Perfect Chicken Wrap Recipe:

• Double-coat the Chicken. For a crispy, extra-crispy chicken, dip tenders into buttermilk and then coat them with flour. This will result in a thicker and crunchier crust.
• Spice it up: If you want a little more heat, add a bit of cayenne or hot Sauce to the Cane’s Sauce. Add jalapenos or a spicy type of cheese to give it an extra kick.
• Fillings can be customized: While lettuce may be the traditional choice, you can customize your Wrap with other vegetables like tomatoes, pickles or coleslaw to give it a fresh and tangy touch.
• Fillings should be balanced. A wrap that is too full of chicken or Sauce may be difficult to fold. Just the right amount of ingredients is best.
