Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls Recipe

Introduction

Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls are a fun and flavorful twist on a classic appetizer. Packed with spicy buffalo chicken, creamy cheeses, and ranch seasoning, these egg rolls are crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. They’re perfect for game day or a tasty snack.

Ingredients

• 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
• 8 egg roll wrappers
• Water, for assembly
• Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, for serving

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the diced rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, and dry ranch seasoning. Stir well until evenly mixed.
2. Step 2: Place about ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture in the center of each egg roll wrapper.
3. Step 3: Lightly wet the edges of each wrapper with water. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the left and right corners toward the center. Roll tightly to seal the edges completely.
4. Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
5. Step 5: Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary. Lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray.
6. Step 6: Air fry the egg rolls for 3-4 minutes. Flip them over, spray again with cooking spray, and air fry for another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Step 7: Serve the egg rolls hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing and additional buffalo sauce for dipping, if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for extra convenience and flavor.
• For a milder version, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce or substitute with BBQ sauce.
• Add finely chopped celery or green onions to the filling for extra crunch and freshness.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the egg rolls in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Storage

Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the air fryer or oven until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving as it may make the wrappers soggy.

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the diced rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and dry ranch seasoning mix. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
2. Fill wrappers: Take one egg roll wrapper at a time and place about ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture in the center of the wrapper.
3. Roll the egg rolls: Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold up the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the right and left corners toward the center, pressing lightly to seal. Roll the wrapper tightly until the filling is fully enclosed and the edges are sealed.

Notes

• If you don’t have an air fryer, you can deep fry or bake the egg rolls, though cooking times will vary.
• Use rotisserie chicken for ease, or cook and shred your own chicken breasts.
• For extra crispiness, spray egg rolls generously with cooking spray before air frying.
• You can substitute ranch seasoning with your favorite spice blend if preferred.
• Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
