Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
These air fried buffalo chicken egg rolls are perfect for a game day appetizer and lightened up. With an easy buffalo chicken dip filling, they're creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside!
Servings: 12 egg rolls
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer I used the Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds shredded buffalo chicken
- 1/2 cup plain cream cheese
- 2 green onions, chopped
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 12 egg roll wrappers, defrosted
- 1 egg or 1/4 cup water mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- avocado or olive oil spray
Instructions
- Mix together warm shredded buffalo chicken, cream cheese, and green onions. Taste and adjust any seasonings.
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F. Whisk egg in a small bowl or cornstarch/water mixture for egg-free. Place egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape on a cutting board and spoon 1-2 tablespoons of buffalo chicken at the lower end.
- Roll the edge towards the top, folding in the sides like an envelope, then continue rolling till you're about 1 inch away from the top. Brush egg or cornstarch mixture along the edge, then continue to roll all the way, adding a little bit more of the mixture to make sure the edges are sealed.
- Spray the outside of the egg rolls with oil, as well as the inner basket of the air fryer. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 8 minutes, check and make sure it's golden brown, then flip and cook another 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Allow the egg rolls to cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ranch dip.
Notes
- Philadelphia, Organic Valley, or any grocery store brand without carrageenan is best for cream cheese. Leave out for dairy free or use your favorite substitute.
- Pair with my ranch dressing for dipping.
- Egg roll wrappers are usually found in the frozen section with other ethnic foods, like frozen egg rolls or gyoza. I have found them at HEB and Whole Foods. Local Asian markets also carry a good selection. Tortillas can be used if you cannot find egg roll wrappers.
