Method
1. For the wraps, shape the rice tightly into golf ball rounds. Place between 2 sliced of cling wrap and press in a tortilla press until the wraps are formed. Brush with oil and fry in a dry pan until blistered.
2. Marinate the chicken slices for 20 – 30 minutes in the buttermilk. Drain and set aside.
3. Mix the flour with the chicken spice. Add scant salt and pepper. Coat the chicken in the seasoned flour. Shallow fry until crispy. Set aside and keep warm until needed.
4. For the slaw, combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
5. To make the sriracha glaze, heat the maple syrup in a pot. When just simmering, whisk in the butter and the chilli sauce.
6. To assemble, place the tortillas on a flat surface. Top with the chicken and slaw and drizzle the maple sriracha glaze over.
