Ingredients
Buffalo Chicken Fingers
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- Kosher salt

- Garlic powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup seasoned fine breadcrumbs
- Olive oil spray, avocado oil spray, or coconut oil spray
- ¾ cup buffalo wing sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey or hot honey
Wraps
- 4 large burrito-size tortillas, warmed
- Chopped romaine lettuce or spring greens
- Crumbled blue cheese
- Ranch dressing for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with a wire rack and generously spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare three shallow bowls. Place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and combine both breadcrumb varieties in the third.
- Season the chicken tenders with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
- Coat each chicken tender in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently so the crumbs adhere well.
- Arrange the coated chicken on the prepared wire rack.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Carefully flip the chicken and continue baking for another 12–15 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
- While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine buffalo wing sauce, butter, and honey. Heat over medium-low heat until the butter melts, whisking until smooth.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and brush generously with the hot honey buffalo sauce.
- To assemble the Hot Honey Buffalo Chicken Wraps, warm the tortillas. Add a handful of lettuce to the center of each tortilla.
- Top with 1–2 pieces of buffalo chicken, blue cheese crumbles, and a drizzle of ranch dressing.
- Fold the top and bottom of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the sides to create a wrap.
- Serve immediately with extra buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, carrot sticks, celery, or your favorite chips.
