Cluckin’ Chicken Wraps

If you haven’t heard of Cluck sauce, you are in for a real treat with this recipe. The best way to describe it is taking the popular chicken tender dipping sauces and mixing them together – spicy mayo, bbq sauce and honey mustard. It is the perfect sauce to go with the crispy chicken tenders and fresh veggies packed into these Cluckin’ Chicken Wraps.

For the recipe I wanted to make it simpler, so I used frozen chicken tenders. If you have the time you could totally make your own chicken tenders. Check out this recipe for a method of homemade Buttermilk Chicken Tenders . Also if you wanted to lighten up this wrap you could opt for grilled chicken strips (tenderloins or breast). It would still be totally delicious.

You have probably noticed that I have been sticking with baking my bacon lately. It is not necessarily a time saver in general, but it is an “active” time saver. The amount of time I have to do anything to get crispy bacon is maybe 10% compared to if you pan fry it on the stove top. Plus when you use the baking rack on top of the bacon, you get nice flat strips, making it both tasty AND pretty. Also it all gets cooked evenly, so one person doesn’t have to settle for the inevitable burnt piece.

These are some hefty wraps – the daughter and I actually split one! And since you have the veggies wrapped up in there with the chicken, you don’t really need something on the side. The boys grabbed some kettle chips to go with them, because they think everything needs a side, and mostly I agree with them.

Now Let’s Get Cookin’!
