Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls

If you’ve been here for a while, you already know two things about me: we love a good small bite situation (especially on weekends), and I’ve been loyal to my air fryer since the day I brought it home.

So when my husband texted me when I was away on a recent trip to casually mention he’d broken the controls (excuse me?!), I’ll admit there was a brief moment of panic… followed by a very quick upgrade to an 8-quart air fryer. And let me tell you, it was the right move.

With football season around the corner and all that extra basket space just waiting to be used, these buffalo chicken egg rolls felt like the obvious next step.

And yes, I absolutely overstuffed them. No regrets. Highly recommend.

They’re crispy on the outside, creamy and just a little spicy on the inside, and basically made for dipping (blue cheese is non-negotiable in this house).

Ingredients

  

• 4 ounces softened cream cheese
• 2/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
• 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
• 2 tbsp wing sauce
• 2 green onions finely chopped
• 8-10 egg roll wrappers
• 1 beaten egg just to seal the egg rolls

Let’s Cook!

 

• In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar, chicken, wing sauce, and green onions until well combined.
• Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape. Add a couple tablespoons of filling near the bottom point. Fold the bottom up over the filling, tuck in the sides, then roll tightly. Brush the edge with egg wash to seal.
• Preheat your air fryer to 380°F.
• Place the egg rolls in a single layer (no crowding!), give them a light spritz of olive oil, and cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Notes

• If putting together the egg rolls feels awkward the first time, same! It gets easier fast, promise.
• Serve hot with blue cheese (or ranch… I won’t judge).

I’ll confess, there’s many a weekend day that I’ll serve these with just a simple veggie platter especially if it’s game day!
