Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Chicken
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins about 450g
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large egg whisked
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for pan-frying, or cooking spray for air fryer
For Assembly
  • 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 large flour tortillas burrito size
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet or Air Fryer
  • 2 Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken tenderloins dry. In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg.
  2. Dip each chicken tenderloin first in the whisked egg, then dredge it thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. To Pan-Fry: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. To Air-Fry: Place chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the Thai sweet chili sauce and mayonnaise until smooth.
  5. Chop the cooked crispy chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl with the sauce. Toss gently to coat all the chicken.
  6. Warm the tortillas. Lay a tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce, shredded carrots, and a generous portion of the sweet chili chicken. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly.
  7. Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.

Notes

Maximum Crispiness: For the crispiest chicken, do not overcrowd the pan or air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed.
Warming Tortillas: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side or in the microwave for 15 seconds to make them soft and pliable.
Storage: Store components separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat chicken before assembling.
