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 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (for crispiness)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (use your favorite brand)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • Optional: Celery sticks for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces if using breasts. In a shallow dish, whisk the egg and milk together. In a second dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a third dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Dredge the chicken: Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko breadcrumbs. Press the crumbs on firmly.
  3. Cook the chicken: You can pan-fry or air fry for the best texture. For pan-frying, heat 1/2 inch of neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. (For air fryer, cook at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.)
  4. Make the buffalo sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce and melted butter until combined. This mellows the heat slightly and helps the sauce coat better.
  5. Toss the chicken: Place the cooked, crispy chicken pieces into the bowl with the buffalo sauce mixture. Toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated.
  6. Warm the tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  7. Assemble the wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of ranch dressing down the center. Top with a portion of the sauced chicken, shredded lettuce, and shredded cheese.
  8. Fold and serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to create a secure wrap. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately with extra ranch dressing and celery sticks.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, skip the breading and pan-fry the chicken in a light spray of oil, or use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken tossed in the sauce.
  • If you prefer blue cheese dressing, substitute it for the ranch dressing to get that classic flavor profile.
  • You can prepare the sauced chicken ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat briefly before assembling the wraps.
