Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 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

Assembly

  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • Water, for sealing wrappers
  • Nonstick cooking spray

For Serving

  • Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the finely diced rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, sharp cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and dry ranch seasoning mix. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Fill the egg roll wrappers: Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon approximately ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture into the center of the wrapper, making sure to leave space around the edges for folding.
  3. Roll the egg rolls: Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingers. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the right and left corners toward the center, pressing lightly to seal the edges. Continue rolling tightly until the filling is completely enclosed and the wrapper edges are sealed securely.
  4. Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F (204°C) and allow it to preheat for a couple of minutes.
  5. Air fry the egg rolls: Arrange the prepared egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Spray the top of each egg roll lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Air fry for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown, then carefully flip each egg roll, spray the other side with cooking spray, and air fry for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp and evenly browned. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  6. Serve: Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Offer additional buffalo sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Control the spiciness by adjusting the amount of buffalo sauce used in the filling.
  • Ensure the egg roll wrappers are sealed tightly to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
  • The air frying times might vary slightly depending on the brand and model of your air fryer; monitor closely to avoid burning.
  • For extra crispiness, preheat the air fryer fully before adding the egg rolls.
  • These egg rolls can be frozen before cooking; freeze on a baking sheet and then transfer to a freezer bag. Air fry directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to cook time.
