Crispy Chicken Twister Wrap

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken tenders (about 8-12 pieces)
• 0.5 tsp thyme (dried)
• 0.5 tsp ginger (ground)
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp celery salt (divided)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste, divided)
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp mustard (yellow or dijon)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1.5 cup all-purpose flour (seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika)
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 4 tortillas (large flour tortillas)
• 2 cup lettuce (shredded)
• 2 tomatoes (freshly chopped)
• 2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, place the chicken tenders and season with thyme, ginger, onion powder, celery salt, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and mustard.

2. 2

   Pour the buttermilk over the seasoned chicken and mix thoroughly until every piece is well coated.

3. 3

   In a separate small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, a generous amount of black pepper, and a pinch of celery salt. Mix until the sauce is smooth.

4. 4

   Prepare a dredging station with the seasoned flour. Take each marinated chicken tender and dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess.

5. 5

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer. Fry the chicken tenders until they are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through.

6. 6

   Warm the flour tortillas until soft.

7. 7

   To assemble, spread a nice layer of the peppery mayo onto the center of a warm tortilla.

8. 8

   Add a layer of shredded lettuce and freshly chopped tomatoes over the mayo.

9. 9

   Place the golden chicken tenders on top of the vegetables, wrap tightly, and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best results, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve maximum crispiness without the chicken becoming greasy. You can adjust the amount of black pepper in the mayo to your preferred level of 'boldness'.
