How to make Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
Making these egg rolls is easy and quick! Just follow the simple steps below to create this mouth-watering dish that everyone will enjoy.
Ingredients :
– 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
– 1/2 cup hot sauce
– 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/4 cup ranch dressing
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– 8-10 egg roll wrappers
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
– Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for serving
– Extra hot sauce for serving
Directions :
**Step 1:** Prepare the Filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, hot sauce, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll tightly toward the top corner, sealing the edges with the cornstarch-water mixture. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Cook in the Air Fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with cooking oil or line it with parchment paper. Place the assembled egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each roll. Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy. Transfer the egg rolls to a serving plate. Serve warm with ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or extra hot sauce for dipping.
