Description

These Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls are a crispy, flavorful appetizer perfect for game day or any casual get-together. Filled with shredded rotisserie chicken tossed in spicy buffalo sauce, creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing, mozzarella cheese, and optional shredded carrots for crunch, these egg rolls are air fried to golden perfection with minimal oil, making them a healthier alternative to traditional fried versions.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing (depending on preference)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots (optional for crunch)

Assembly

  • 10-12 egg roll wrappers
  • Olive oil spray or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, and mozzarella cheese. Add the shredded carrots if using. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, with a corner facing you like a diamond shape.
  3. Add the Filling: Place 2-3 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken filling in the center of the wrapper.
  4. Roll the Egg Rolls: Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll the egg roll tightly from the bottom to the top. Wet the top corner with a bit of water to seal it securely.
  5. Repeat Assembly: Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling until all egg rolls are formed.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent the egg rolls from sticking.
  8. Arrange Egg Rolls: Place the assembled egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray the tops of the egg rolls lightly with olive oil spray to promote crispiness.
  9. Air Fry: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping the egg rolls halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  10. Serve: Carefully remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and serve immediately.
  11. Optional Dipping: Serve with extra buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing for dipping to enhance the flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can brush the egg rolls with a little olive oil instead of spraying.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your preferred spice level.
  • Use gloves or toss quickly when mixing buffalo sauce to avoid skin irritation from the hot sauce.
  • Feel free to add diced celery for extra crunch if desired.
  • Make sure not to overfill the egg rolls to prevent them from bursting open while cooking.
  • Use a damp cloth to cover assembled egg rolls if not cooking immediately to prevent wrappers from drying out.
