Ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast (approx. 200g), cut into 6 long strips
- 3 tablespoon cornflour
- 2 tablespoon plain flour
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3–5 tablespoon cold sparkling water
- Oil for frying
- 3 large wheat tortilla wraps
- 3 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1/2 gem lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 2 short cucumbers or 1/2 English cucumber, cut into sticks
- 2–3 tablespoon hot honey
Instructions
- Heat 1–1.5 cm of oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together cornflour, plain flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in cold sparkling water, starting with 3 tablespoons and adding more only if needed, until a slightly thick, lumpy batter forms. Do not overmix.
- Dip each chicken strip into the batter, then carefully lower it into the hot oil.
- Fry the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden, crispy, and cooked through.
- Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain excess oil.
- Lay out the tortilla wraps and spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each.
- Add shredded lettuce, bell pepper strips, and cucumber sticks.
- Place the crispy chicken on top and drizzle with hot honey.
- Fold in the sides of the wrap, then roll tightly from the bottom upward to seal.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and crisp.
Notes
- Use sparkling water for a lighter, crispier batter.
- Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent tearing.
- For extra heat, add cayenne pepper to the batter or use spicier hot honey.
- Assemble wraps just before eating to maintain crispiness.
- Leftover fried chicken can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
