Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls Recipe

Introduction

Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls are a flavorful twist on the classic party appetizer. Filled with tender rotisserie chicken, creamy cheeses, and spicy buffalo sauce, these crispy egg rolls are perfect for game day or any casual gathering.

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 chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir well until the mixture is fully combined.
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 the wrapper with water. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the left and right corners toward the center. Roll the wrapper tightly to enclose the filling, sealing the edges with water.
4. Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
5. Step 5: Arrange the egg rolls in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Spray the tops lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
6. Step 6: Air fry the egg rolls for 3-4 minutes. Flip them, spray the other side with cooking spray, and air fry for another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Step 7: Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing and extra buffalo sauce for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, lightly brush egg rolls with oil instead of spraying.
• Substitute cooked shredded chicken breast if rotisserie chicken is unavailable.
• Add finely chopped celery or green onions to the filling for some crunch and freshness.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, bake egg rolls on a lined baking sheet at 425°F for 15-20 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 at 350°F for 3-4 minutes or until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving to keep them from getting soggy.

FAQs

Can I freeze these buffalo chicken egg rolls?

Yes, you can freeze them uncooked. After assembling, wrap each egg roll tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 1 month. To cook, air fry them directly from frozen, adding a couple extra minutes to the cooking time.

What can I use if I don’t have ranch seasoning mix?

You can substitute with a combination of dried herbs and spices such as parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper to mimic ranch flavor.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

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

Wrapping and Serving

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

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the finely diced rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and dry ranch seasoning mix. Stir thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly.
2. Assemble the egg rolls: Working with one egg roll wrapper at a time, place about ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture in the center of the wrapper.
3. Roll the egg rolls: Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the right and left corners toward the center, pressing gently to seal. Finally, roll the wrapper tightly upward until the filling is fully enclosed and the edges are sealed.
4. Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and let it heat up.
5. Air fry the egg rolls: Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray. Air fry for 3–4 minutes, then carefully flip each egg roll over, spray again with cooking spray, and continue air frying for another 3–4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve: Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing and extra buffalo sauce if desired.

Notes

• Be sure to seal the egg rolls tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, these can be baked in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
• Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, but cooked shredded chicken breast works as well.
• Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level.
• Leftover egg rolls can be refrigerated and reheated in the air fryer for best texture.
