Buffalo. Chicken. Two of our family’s favorite words. There is rarely an event with my in-laws that does not include buffalo chicken dip, especially during football season. It is their love language, and who would blame them?
I was planning to make cheeseburger egg rolls for dinner one night, but then realized I didn’t have any ground beef. Then the idea hit me- buffalo chicken egg rolls! It sounded amazing, and to be honest, they are!
I prefer to use our air fryer because of the crispiness and the lack of oil. If you’d rather fry the egg rolls in the pan, you are welcome to do so. Just know these directions are specifically for the air fryer.
Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
Notes
You don’t have to spray with cooking spray, but I find it helps crisp up a bit better. It’s still significantly less oil than frying them in a skillet.
If egg roll folding is intimidating, please look at the photos below for the step-by-step folding process.
I keep a tiny bowl of water next to me while I fold and roll.
Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook these in multiple batches.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 package egg roll wrappers
- 8oz bag of shredded cheddar cheese
- Frank’s Red Hot (hot sauce)
- Pam or cooking spray
- Ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- 1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet on medium heat. Slice chicken breasts in half (so they cook faster) and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- 2. Cook chicken breasts fully, about 5 minutes per side. Cut/shred chicken into bite-size pieces.
- 3. Add cheese and chicken to a mixing bowl. Then add the hot sauce- the amount will depend on your preferred spice levels. I add about 1/2 cup because we like spice. If you prefer a more mild heat, just give a generous drizzle.
- 4. I preheat the air fryer to about 375° while I assemble my egg rolls. You place the egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Place the filling in the center, then wet your fingers with water and coat the edges of the wrappers so they stick together. Fold up the bottom of the wrapper, then fold in the sides, wet the tops of the sides, and roll the wrapper up to stick to the top. Make sure all little nooks and crannies are sealed, wetting again if need be, so no filling escapes.
- 5. Spray the tops of the egg rolls with Pam, then place Pam-side down into the fryer basket. Spray the top of the egg rolls lightly with Pam and cook for 8 minutes. Then turn them over a cook for another 2 minutes.
- 6. Serve hot with a side of ranch dressing!
I know the folding process can be confusing, so here are some step-by-step photos to help!
I hope you give these a try, because once you make them, you won’t be able to stop! Your guests will love you forever. Be prepared to host for every game after your family and friends try these.
