Description
Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls are a crispy and flavorful appetizer that combines rotisserie chicken with creamy cheese and spicy buffalo sauce, all wrapped in a crunchy egg roll wrapper.
Ingredients
Scale
- 280 g finely diced rotisserie chicken
- 113 g sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 113 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 113 g cream cheese, softened
- 60 ml buffalo sauce, plus extra for serving
- 28 g dry ranch seasoning mix (1 packet or 2 tablespoons)
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- Water, for sealing
- Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, thoroughly combine rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, and ranch seasoning until evenly mixed.
- Working with one wrapper at a time, place approximately 1/3 cup of filling onto the center of each egg roll wrapper. Lightly moisten the edges with water, fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the right and left corners toward the center, and roll tightly to enclose.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Arrange filled egg rolls in the fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray. Air fry for 3–4 minutes, turn each egg roll, spray again, and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Present hot egg rolls with ranch or blue cheese dressing and extra buffalo sauce as desired.
- Heat 5–7 cm of vegetable oil in a deep pot to 185°C. Fry 3–4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, for about 3 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels; ensure oil temperature returns to 185°C between batches.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the egg rolls on the sheet, spray or brush the tops with oil, and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for frying to avoid soggy egg rolls.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of buffalo sauce for desired spiciness.
- Egg rolls can be frozen before cooking for a later meal.
