1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar/lemon juice)
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt & black pepper to taste

🧂 For the Coating:

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch (for crunch!)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp seasoning salt or regular salt
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp cayenne pepper or chili powder (optional)
Oil for frying (canola or vegetable)

🫓 For the Wrap Assembly:

4–6 large tortillas or wraps
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 ripe tomato, sliced
½ red onion, thinly sliced
1–2 pickles or jalapeños, sliced (optional)
4 slices cheddar or mozzarella cheese (optional)

🍶 Dipping or Drizzling Sauce Options:

¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

OR use Ranch, Spicy Mayo, BBQ, or Honey Mustard!

🛠️ Instructions & Methods

🔹 1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix chicken strips with buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Let sit for 30 minutes (or longer for more flavor and tenderness).

🔹 2. Prepare the Crispy Coating

In a shallow dish, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and seasonings.
Remove chicken from marinade and dredge each piece in the flour mix. Press the coating on firmly.

🔹 3. Fry Until Golden

Heat oil in a deep skillet or pan to 350°F (175°C).
Fry chicken in batches for 4–6 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on paper towels or wire rack.

🔹 4. Assemble the Wraps

Warm the tortillas slightly for easy rolling.
Spread sauce on the base of each wrap.
Layer with lettuce, tomato, onions, cheese, and 2–3 pieces of crispy chicken.
Roll tightly into a wrap or burrito style.

🔁 Optional: Grill the assembled wrap in a dry pan for 1–2 mins per side for extra crisp edges.

🔬 Formation: Why It’s So Crispy and Good

Buttermilk tenderizes the chicken and adds flavor.
Cornstarch + flour = the classic combo for that restaurant-level crunch.
Double-layering (pressing flour coating firmly) = thicker, crispier shell.
Fresh veggies balance the richness and bring that cooling crunch.

📜 History: A Crunchy Classic, Reinvented

Wraps are a modern evolution of everything from burritos to Mediterranean flatbreads. But crispy chicken? That’s timeless — from Southern fried chicken to Japanese karaage to Middle Eastern schnitzel.

When crispy chicken met a fresh tortilla, it became a global phenomenon — portable, delicious, and infinitely personalizable.

What started in lunch cafés and fast-food menus is now a staple for home cooks who love big flavor with minimal fuss.
