How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wraps

These buffalo chicken wraps come together in just a few simple steps:

1. In a large bowl, place your chicken tenders in the bowl and season with spices including: garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt. Add the buffalo sauce and mix throughly to coat. Set aside

2. In two small bowls, set up a breading station. Add your egg and egg whites in on bowl and scramble until mixed together. To other bowl, add panko breadcrumbs and season with dried parsley.

3. Next take one of the buffalo chicken pieces and first dip in the egg mixture ensuring to coat on both sides. Next dip in the panko bread crumbs covering on both sides. Set the breaded tenders aside on a separate plate and repeat the process for all of the tenders.

4. Once you have breaded all of your tenders, place on the air fryer tray and spray with some spray Pam or extra virgin olive oil. Cook in the air fryer on 400 degrees for 12 minutes flipping halfway through the cooking process.

5. Remove the cooked chicken breast and allow to cool on separate tray.
