- Paprika brings color and mild sweetness
- Oregano contributes an herbal note
- Chili flakes give just the right amount of heat
- Sazon packet adds authentic flavor
- Fresh lemon juice tenderizes the chicken while adding acidity

The chicken in these wraps cooks quickly while retaining its juiciness, making it perfect for wrapping in a tortilla with fresh vegetables and that amazing sauce!
The Copycat Cane’s Sauce: A Game-Changer for Chicken Wraps
What truly elevates these homemade chicken wraps is the copycat Raising Cane’s sauce. If you’ve ever had Cane’s chicken fingers, you know their sauce is legendary—and now you can recreate it at home!
The sauce combines creamy mayonnaise with tangy ketchup, savory Worcestershire sauce, and a perfect blend of spices. It’s slightly smoky from the paprika, with garlic and onion notes that complement the chicken beautifully. This sauce adds moisture and richness to each bite of your chicken wrap.

Creating these delicious chicken wraps is straightforward:
- Start by cutting 2 pounds of chicken tenders (or thighs/breasts) into bite-sized pieces.

- While the chicken marinates, prepare your fresh ingredients: dice tomatoes, slice red onions, and chop lettuce.
- Make the copycat Cane’s sauce by combining 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/3 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon each of black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Cook the chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
- Assemble your chicken wraps by layering lettuce, seasoned chicken, tomatoes, and onions on a flour tortilla, then drizzling with the sauce.
- Roll up the wraps burrito-style, toasting them in a lightly oiled pan until golden and crispy if desired.
