Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 large jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 12–14 egg roll wrappers
  • 1–2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil (canola or avocado), for brushing
  • Optional: Ranch, blue cheese dressing, or extra Buffalo sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, green onions (if using), Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
  2. Lay out egg roll wrappers on a clean cutting board. Keep a small bowl of water nearby for sealing. Prepare a plate or baking sheet for finished rolls. Have filling, pastry brush, and oil ready.
  3. Place one egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the lower third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners tightly. Roll up toward the top corner, keeping it snug. Dab the top corner with water to seal. Set aside, seam-side down. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2 minutes.
  5. Lightly brush each egg roll with oil on all sides. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Work in batches if needed.
  6. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 7–8 minutes, flip, then cook another 6–7 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Check after 12 minutes and adjust time as needed.
  7. Let egg rolls cool for 2–3 minutes before serving. Serve hot with ranch, blue cheese dressing, or extra Buffalo sauce.

Notes

Don’t overfill the wrappers to prevent splitting. Use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling. Brush with oil for maximum crispiness. For gluten-free, use gluten-free wrappers. For less heat, substitute poblano peppers. Leftovers reheat well in the air fryer. You can freeze uncooked egg rolls and air fry from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
