Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls Recipe

Introduction

These Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls combine tender rotisserie chicken with creamy cheese and spicy buffalo sauce, all wrapped in crispy egg roll skins. Perfect as a game day snack or party appetizer, they’re easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.

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 ranch seasoning mix. Stir well to mix all the ingredients evenly.
2. Step 2: Place about ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture in the center of each egg roll wrapper.
3. Step 3: 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. Roll tightly until the filling is fully enclosed and sealed.
4. Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
5. Step 5: Arrange the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. 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 until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy.
7. Step 7: Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing and additional buffalo sauce if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, brush the egg rolls lightly with oil instead of spraying.
• Try swapping the rotisserie chicken with cooked ground chicken or turkey for a different texture.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, you can deep-fry or bake the egg rolls until golden and crispy.
• Feel free to add chopped celery or green onions to the filling for additional crunch and flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the wrappers soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I freeze these egg rolls?

Yes, you can freeze un-cooked assembled egg rolls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the air frying time.

What if I don’t have buffalo sauce?

If you don’t have buffalo sauce, you can mix hot sauce with melted butter to create a similar spicy, tangy flavor. Alternatively, you can use your favorite wing sauce or spicy BBQ sauce for a different twist.

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

Assembly

• 8 egg roll wrappers
• Water, for sealing wrappers
• Nonstick cooking spray

For Serving

• Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing

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 until all ingredients are well mixed.
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. Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water to help seal.
3. Roll the egg rolls. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up to cover the filling, then fold in the left and right corners toward the center. Press gently to seal. Continue rolling the wrapper tightly until the filling is fully enclosed and the edges are sealed to prevent filling from leaking out.
4. Preheat the air fryer. Set the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the egg rolls.
5. Cook the egg rolls. Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Spray the tops of the egg rolls lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Air fry for 3 to 4 minutes, then carefully flip them over, spray the other side with cooking spray, and air fry for another 3 to 4 minutes or until the egg rolls 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 additional buffalo sauce for dipping.

Notes

• If you don’t have rotisserie chicken, cooked shredded chicken breast can be used as a substitute.
• Make sure to soften the cream cheese beforehand for easier mixing.
• Do not overfill the egg roll wrappers—use about ⅓ cup filling per wrapper to ensure easy rolling and sealing.
• Spraying the egg rolls with cooking spray helps achieve a crispy exterior without deep frying.
• Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size and model of your air fryer—check for golden brown color as a cue.
• For a milder version, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce.
