# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Combine mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, grated onion, white wine vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
02 -
In one shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In another shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
03 -
Coat each chicken tenderloin in the egg and milk mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring full coverage. Shake off any excess flour.
04 -
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken in batches for 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a wire rack to drain.

Heat a skillet over low heat and add a light coating of olive oil. Place a tortilla in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes until the bottom begins to brown. Flip, then top with a slice of American cheese and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cheese is slightly melted.

Spread Big Mac sauce over the warm tortilla with cheese. Place one fried chicken tender on top, then add dill pickle chips and shredded iceberg lettuce. Drizzle with additional sauce if desired. Fold and serve warm.
# Handy Tips:

For best flavor, make Big Mac sauce ahead and allow to chill for at least 1 hour. Use a thermometer to monitor oil temperature and avoid overcrowding when frying chicken for crisp results.
