Tips Before You Start

For the crispiest tenders ever:
Double coat in wet and dry batter, and always let them rest 2 minutes after frying before glazing. Air fryer works perfectly too if you’re oil-conscious.

Hot honey:
Taste as you go- more honey for sweet, more chili flakes for fire. A tiny splash of vinegar keeps it balanced and glossy.

Caesar dressing that slaps:
Fresh garlic + freshly grated parmesan are non-negotiable. Let it chill 10 minutes, the flavors marry and it thickens beautifully for wrapping.

Wrap assembly hacks:

• Layer lettuce first (soggy-wrap prevention)
• Warm tortillas 10 seconds in the microwave and they’ll roll like a dream
• Secure with parchment paper or foil for perfect on-the-go eating
