Here I’ll show you the most incredible way to make a copycat version of the McDonald’s Crispy Chicken Tikka Wrap!<\/strong><\/p>\n By this point, I am a chicken tikka wrap connoisseur with the number of times I’ve ordered it from McDonald’s. As it’s a limited edition item, I felt it was my duty to come up with the most delicious homemade version and dare I say, it ended up better than the real thing. Follow me…<\/p>\n Where I differ from McDonald’s is we’re going to be making tikka-flavoured tenders, as opposed to regular tenders. And yes, crispy chicken tikka truly is as good as it sounds. <\/p>\n Like all good crispy chicken, we’ll be marinating the tenders in a simple bath of deliciousness. Such deliciousness includes:<\/em><\/p>\n I like to marinate the tenders overnight, but 2-4 hours is great.<\/strong><\/p>\n Process shots: add marinade ingredients to bowl (photo 1), whisk (photo 2), add tenders (photo 3), toss then marinate in the fridge (photo 4).<\/em><\/p>\n Dredging the chicken through flour is a crucial step in creating truly crispy chicken. It’s often an overlooked step. <\/p>\n To create insanely crispy chicken, you need to really work the flour into the chicken<\/strong> to create lots of craggy, flaky bits<\/strong>. It’s those bits that crisp up beautifully in the oil. I like to literally ‘squeeze’ the flour into the chicken and shake off excess.<\/p>\n Process shots: combine spices, baking powder and flour (photo 1), add chicken (photo 2), coat (photo 3), shake excess (photo 4).<\/em><\/p>\n We will indeed be frying the chicken, but because they’re only tenders:<\/p>\n a) <\/strong>You won’t need a huge pot of oil. Just make sure you work in batches<\/strong> so they don’t stick together. Working in batches will also ensure the oil temperature doesn’t drop too much. After they’re fried, it’s important to rest them on a wire rack<\/strong> to allow excess oil to drain off.<\/p>\n Process shots: add chicken to hot oil (photo 1), fry then flip (photo 2), remove (photo 3), place on wire rack (photo 4).<\/em><\/p>\n Alright, here’s where the magic happens. We’ll just be using some regular flour tortillas, then loading them up with the classic toppings:<\/p>\n Process shots: spread chutney on wrap (photo 1), add lettuce (photo 2), add cucumber and onion (photo 3), add tenders and tikka mayo (photo 4).<\/em><\/p>\n The tenders will be pretty big, so you only need 2 per wrap. The wraps themselves are very hearty, so I typically serve them as they are! Wrap them anyway you find easiest – I like to use baking paper to reduce mess.<\/p>\n For another chicken tikka recipe check out my Chicken Tikka Sandwich Filler<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n For another delicious chicken wrap recipe check out my Crispy Chicken Wraps<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for these crispy chicken tikka wraps shall we?!<\/strong><\/p>\n
