Description

Learn how to make irresistible Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls! These crispy, golden-brown egg rolls are filled with a creamy, cheesy, and spicy buffalo chicken mixture, perfect for game day or any party.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups (280 g) rotisserie chicken, finely diced
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup buffalo sauce, plus extra for serving
  • 1 cup (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup (113 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 packet (1 ounce / 2 tablespoons) dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • Water, for assembly
  • Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: Combining the Creamy, Cheesy Chicken Mixture

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the finely diced rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and dry ranch seasoning mix.
  2. Stir Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until they are completely combined and evenly distributed. The mixture should be thick and creamy.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Wrapping Up the Flavorful Filling

  1. Lay Out Wrapper: Working with one egg roll wrapper at a time, place the wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond shape).
  2. Add Filling: Spoon about â…“ cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
    • Tip: Don’t overfill the wrapper, as this can make it difficult to roll and may cause the filling to leak out during cooking.
  3. Fold and Roll:
    • Moisten Edges: Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water. This will help to seal the egg roll.
    • Fold Bottom Corner: Fold up the bottom corner of the wrapper (the corner closest to you) over the filling, tucking it in slightly.
    • Fold in Sides: Fold in the right and left corners of the wrapper towards the center, like you’re folding an envelope.
    • Roll Tightly: Roll the wrapper up tightly from the bottom, enclosing the filling completely. Press the edges firmly to seal.
  4. Repeat: Repeat the filling and rolling process with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.

3. Prepare the Air Fryer: Getting Ready to Crisp

  1. Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spray Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the egg rolls from sticking.

4. Air Fry the Egg Rolls: Achieving Golden-Brown Perfection

  1. Arrange in Basket: Place the assembled egg rolls in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket.
    • Tip: Make sure the egg rolls are not overcrowded, as this will prevent them from crisping up evenly. Work in batches if necessary.
  2. Spray Tops (Optional): Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with nonstick cooking spray for extra crispiness and a golden-brown color.
  3. Air Fry: Air fry the egg rolls for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Flip: Carefully flip the egg rolls over using tongs or a spatula.
  5. Spray Again (Optional): Lightly spray the other side with cooking spray.
  6. Continue Air Frying: Continue to air fry for another 3-4 minutes, or until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy on all sides.

5. Serve and Enjoy: The Finishing Touches

  1. Cool Slightly: Let the Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls cool slightly for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Serve Hot: Serve hot with ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or extra buffalo sauce for dipping.
