Preparing the Chicken
Start your Zinger® Crunch Twister® Box by preparing the chicken. Begin with fresh chicken breast fillets and ensure they are thawed if they were frozen. Rinse the fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to eliminate excess moisture, which is crucial for achieving a crispy coating during frying. Proper preparation will enhance both texture and flavor in the final dish.
Marinating the Chicken
In a large mixing bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. This mixture serves to marinate the chicken while adding a spicy kick. Add the chicken fillets to the bowl, ensuring they are completely submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour, though marinating overnight will yield the best results. This step is vital for infusing flavor and tenderness into the chicken.
Preparing the Coating
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the breading mixture. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This combination creates a flavorful and crispy coating. Make sure to mix the dry ingredients well, ensuring no lumps remain. Setting this mixture aside allows for a smoother coating process later on.
Breading the Chicken
After the marination period, take the chicken out of the refrigerator. Allow any excess marinade to drip off, then dredge each fillet in the flour mixture. Ensure that each piece is thoroughly coated, pressing lightly to help the mixture adhere. For an extra crunch, you can dip the coated chicken back into the buttermilk before re-coating it with the flour mixture. This double-dipping method will result in an even crispier texture.
Frying the Chicken
In a deep skillet or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the breaded chicken fillets to the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Once finished, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil, keeping them crisp.
Assembling the Twister
To assemble the Zinger® Crunch Twisters, start by laying a large tortilla wrap flat. Spread a generous layer of ranch dressing in the center of the wrap. Place a few crispy chicken fillets on top, followed by fresh lettuce leaves and tomato slices. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides to keep everything secure. This ensures a delicious bite every time and makes for an appealing presentation.
Serving with Sides
For a complete meal, consider serving the Zinger® Crunch Twisters with crispy fries or a side salad. These sides complement the flavors of the Twisters and add variety to the meal. Providing additional ranch dressing for dipping can enhance the experience for those who enjoy extra sauce. This dish is perfect for casual gatherings or family dinners, offering a satisfying combination of textures and flavors.
Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftover chicken, allow it to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. The chicken can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the chicken on a baking sheet for about 10-15 minutes, ensuring it regains its crispiness. Avoid using the microwave, as this can make the coating soggy. Enjoy your Zinger® Crunch Twister® Box whenever you crave it!
