# How to Prepare:

01 - Place chicken strips in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes to tenderize.
02 - In a shallow dish, combine flour, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Remove chicken strips from buttermilk and dredge thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture until completely coated on all sides.
04 - Heat approximately ½ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken strips in batches for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
05 - In a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes. Warm over low heat until blended, then remove from heat.
06 - Toss the fried chicken strips in the hot honey sauce until completely coated.
07 - In a large bowl, combine romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and cherry tomatoes. Toss until well coated. Add croutons if desired.
08 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable and warm.
09 - Layer Caesar salad onto the center of each tortilla. Top with hot honey chicken strips. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly.
10 - Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The hot honey hits your tongue first then the creamy Caesar calms everything down perfectly
  • These come together in under an hour but taste like something from a fancy wrap shop
02 -
  • Dont skip the buttermilk soak because it makes the chicken tender and keeps the coating from falling off
  • Warm the honey just enough to mix it because overheating makes it too thin to coat properly
  • Roll these tightly and slice them immediately or theyll get soggy from the dressing
03 -
  • Set a wire rack over a baking sheet to drain the chicken so it stays crispy on all sides
  • Keep your fried chicken in a 200 degree oven while you finish the batch so everything stays hot
  • Put a piece of parchment paper between the wrap and the foil if packing these for lunch
