Ingredients You’ll Need

Here is everything you need to make these incredible chicken wraps. We’ve broken it down into parts for clarity.

For the Chicken Tenders:

• 1 lb chicken breast tenders (or boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced into strips)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 ½ cups plain breadcrumbs (panko breadcrumbs work great for extra crunch!)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Vegetable or canola oil, for frying

For the Homemade Raising Cane’s Copycat Sauce:

• ½ cup high-quality mayonnaise (Duke’s or Hellmann’s recommended)
• ¼ cup ketchup
• ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for a little kick)

For Assembling the Wraps:

• 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
• 2 cups shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
• Optional additions: Dill pickle slices, diced tomatoes, or shredded cheese.

Step-by-Step Instructions: How to Make Chicken Wraps

Follow these simple steps to create the ultimate chicken wrap experience.

Step 1: Make the Signature Copycat Sauce

The soul of this dish is the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk until completely smooth and uniform in color. For the best flavor, cover the bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator while you prepare the chicken. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Step 2: Set Up Your Dredging Station

This is the classic “dry-wet-dry” method for perfectly breaded chicken. You’ll need three shallow bowls or pie plates:

• Bowl 1: Place the all-purpose flour.
• Bowl 2: Add the beaten eggs.
• Bowl 3: Combine the breadcrumbs with the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well with a fork.

Step 3: Bread the Chicken

Pat your chicken tenders dry with a paper towel. This helps the flour stick. Take a chicken tender and dredge it first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any extra to drip off. Finally, coat it thoroughly in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere. Place the breaded tender on a clean plate and repeat with all the chicken strips.

Step 4: Fry to Golden Perfection

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a few breadcrumbs into the pan; if they sizzle immediately, it’s go-time.
Carefully place 3-4 chicken tenders into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown, crispy, and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Transfer the cooked chicken to a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of extra salt while they’re hot.

Step 5: Assemble Your Chicken Wraps

This is the fun part!

1. Warm your flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
3. Down the center of the tortilla, place a generous handful of shredded lettuce.
4. Add 2-3 crispy chicken tenders on top of the lettuce.
5. Drizzle a generous amount of your homemade Cane’s sauce over the chicken. If you’re adding pickles or tomatoes, now is the time to add them.
6. To fold, fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then tightly roll the bottom edge up and over the filling, tucking it in as you go to create a secure wrap.

Slice the wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately with extra sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips for the Perfect Chicken Wrap Every Time

• [H3: Don’t Overcrowd the Pan] When frying, give the chicken room to breathe. Overcrowding lowers the oil temperature, leading to soggy, greasy chicken instead of crispy tenders. Fry in batches if necessary.
• [H3: Keep it Crispy] To prevent your wraps from becoming soggy, make sure the chicken has cooled slightly on a rack and that your lettuce is thoroughly dried. Moisture is the enemy of a crisp wrap.
• [H3: The Sauce is Key] This copycat sauce is incredibly versatile. Make a double batch to keep in the fridge. It’s amazing on fries, burgers, and as a vegetable dip.
• [H3: Make it Healthier] For a lighter version, you can bake the chicken tenders. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spray with cooking oil, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
• [H3: Spice It Up] If you like things hot, add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to the egg wash, or mix some finely chopped pickled jalapeños into the sauce.

Variations to Try

One of the best things about these easy chicken wraps is how adaptable they are. Here are a few fun twists:

• Buffalo Chicken Wraps: Toss the cooked crispy chicken in your favorite buffalo wing sauce before wrapping.
• Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps: Swap the Cane’s sauce for a simple mix of mayonnaise, honey, and Dijon mustard.
• Southwest Chicken Wraps: Add black beans, corn, and a sprinkle of pepper jack cheese to the filling, and use a ranch dressing mixed with salsa as the sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use grilled chicken instead of fried?
Absolutely! While the crispy texture is a classic part of this dish, these wraps are equally delicious with seasoned, sliced grilled chicken breast.

How do I store leftovers?
It’s best to store the components separately. Keep the cooked chicken tenders in an airtight container in the fridge, and store the sauce and lettuce in their own containers. Assemble the wraps fresh when you’re ready to eat. The chicken can be reheated in an air fryer or oven to bring back its crispiness.

Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes, easily. Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free 1:1 blend, use gluten-free breadcrumbs (or crushed gluten-free cornflakes), and ensure you use corn or gluten-free tortillas.
