to make mcdonalds-style crispy chicken wraps, you’ll need:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 30g panko (6 syns) mixed with black pepper
- 125g fat – free natural yoghurt (fat-free, watch your syns)
- lettuce
- cucumber
- four wraps – one BFree wrap is currently a HEB, but do check
to make mcdonalds-style crispy chicken wraps, you should:
- cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make four thin breasts
- dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg, shake off the excess and then dip in the panko
- spray with a little spray oil and bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes – you’ll get nice crunchy chicken
- cut each chicken breast into three strips
- heat the wrap for a moment or two in a dry frying pan
- assemble the wrap by laying out the lettuce and cucumber, and then place the three strips of chicken on top
- add a good dollop of whichever sauce from below tickles your fancy
- fold the wrap up from the bottom, and then tuck in from the sides
Now, here are the four variants to help sex up your mcdonalds-style crispy chicken wraps:
- to make a garlic mayo wrap: mix together 1 tsp garlic powder and 2 tbsp low-fat mayonnaise (Morrisons NuMe mayonnaise is just 1 syn per tablespoon!)
- to make a sweet chilli wrap: making your own sweet chilli sauce is a clart on – pick up a supermarket one, which is roughly 1½ syns per tablespoon)
- to make a BBQ bacon and chicken wrap: grill two bacon medallions (they’re in our MF box!) and make up the sauce from this recipe or use supermarket BBQ sauce for about a syn per tablespoon
- to make the hot peri peri chicken one: mix together 125g fat free natural yoghurt, 1 tsp dried garlic, 1 tbsp sriracha (½ syn per tablespoon) and ½ tsp salt
We nicked the sleeves from the chicken wraps we had to buy from McDonalds to do the comparison with. I know, it’s a hard life. If you’re struggling to fold your flaps in, and I understand that’s a problem that comes with age, buy one of these wee things – it’ll hold your wrap!
Eee yes, we do spoil you. If you enjoyed our ‘taking a naughty meal and making a low syn version’ why not have a look at our KFC chicken zinger tower burger? If that doesn’t give you a wide-on, nothing will!
