Homemade Honey BBQ Chicken Wraps
I love making these delicious Honey BBQ Chicken Wraps. They are easy to make and you can use your favorite ingredients. These wraps can be used as a simple weeknight dinner or served for lunch or even enjoyed at a family picnic.
What Kind of Breadcrumbs Should I use
When I am breading the chicken I want them to almost seem like chicken tenders. For this reason, I use breadcrumbs that I season. I am using regular breadcrumbs but if you are worried that it will not stay crispy enough for you, you can also use Panko breadcrumbs. These are especially great for a crispier texture on the outside of the chicken.
What if I don’t have buttermilk
You can make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar, or lemon juice, to a measuring cup and then filling the rest with milk to equal one cup.
Another option, if you need a dairy free option for buttermilk, you can make your own by adding the juice of one lemon to a measuring cup. Add enough warm water so it reaches about ¾ of the way up and stir until combined. This will create that perfect consistency for this recipe while still being dairy-free as well!
What Kind of Tortillas Work Best for Chicken Wraps
I like to use flour tortillas when I am making honey BBQ chicken wraps. I prefer the flavor and the texture. You can also use corn if you like them better or want a gluten free option. Another choice is to skip the tortilla completely and use lettuce wraps.
How to Store Honey BBQ Chicken
The Honey BBQ Chicken Wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. To store the chicken, simply wrap tightly with plastic film or place inside a sealed container, and refrigerate until needed. You may also freeze the chicken for later.
How Long Do They Last
The chicken will last for about 3 days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it for about 3 months. I prefer to store the chicken and the tortillas separately so that the tortillas do not get soggy.
Can These Chicken Wraps Be Made Ahead
Yes, the Honey BBQ Chicken Wraps can be made ahead of time. Since the chicken will last for about 3 days, you can make the chicken before you need it. It is best to assemble the wraps right before you are ready to serve them.
What to Serve with these Wraps
These wraps are perfect for an appetizer or a dinner. You can serve them with coleslaw because the sweet barbecue sauce and the tangy coleslaw would go perfectly together.
