  • In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce.

  • Grab your chicken and place beside crumb mixture.
  • Drain buttermilk from individual chicken pieces, then add chicken to breadcrumb mixture.
  • Toss well to coat.
  • Remove covered chicken pieces from bowl or bag, and drench in buttermilk mixture one more time.
  • Next, add back to bag or bowl and toss to totally coat again.
  • You should have two or three breaded chicken breasts. I always make three to easily feed four adults. You may only need to prepare 2 chicken breasts.

Air fryer method

  • Preheat your air fryer for 10 minutes on 400 degrees.
  • Spray with cooking spray.
  • Add chicken to air fryer once it's done preheating in a single layer, not touching.
  • Spray chicken with cooking spray.
  • Cook for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from air fryer and place on cutting board to rest. Now you can make your wraps.

Skillet method

  • Heat 2-3 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Add chicken pieces in a single layer. Fry for 5 min, then flip and cook another 5 minutes or done.

Oven method

  • Add prepared chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet covered in cooking spray. Bake whole breasts for 40 minutes and no longer pink..

Build your wrap

  • Using a sharp knife, slice chicken into strips. As thin or as thick as you like.
  • At your workstation, spread ranch dressing on the middle third of your wrap.
  • Add lettuce, cheese and then your chicken strips.
  • Fold wrap up from bottom and over from side until closed.
  • Use toothpicks to secure, if desired.
  • Enjoy every bite!
