Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chicken 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
- 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.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner facing you, forming a diamond shape.
- Add Filling: Place 2-3 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Roll the Egg Rolls: Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top. Wet the top corner with a bit of water to seal it properly.
- Repeat: Continue assembling the remaining egg rolls with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Prepare Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Egg Rolls: Place the egg rolls in a single layer inside the basket and spray the tops with a light coat of olive oil spray.
- Air Fry: Cook the egg rolls at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer once cooked and serve immediately.
- Optional Dipping: Serve with extra buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute cooked shredded chicken with leftover rotisserie chicken.
- For a spicier kick, add extra buffalo sauce or hot sauce to the filling.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, these egg rolls can be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Make sure to not overfill the wrappers to avoid bursting during cooking.
- Using olive oil spray helps achieve a crispy texture without excess oil.
- Allow the egg rolls to cool for a few minutes after air frying as the filling will be very hot.
