Coat each piece of chicken first in the flour mixture, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally press it firmly into the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Heat oil in a large skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and toast for 1–2 minutes, then flip and toast the other side until both are golden brown and perfectly crispy.
