Ingredients

12 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked, shredded
1/3 cup buffalo hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder

1 large egg, beaten

1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (for serving)

Instructions

1

In a large bowl, combine 12 oz cooked, shredded boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1/3 cup buffalo hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot), 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 4 thinly sliced green onions, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp onion powder. Mix well until fully incorporated.
2

Lay one egg roll wrappers on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Place about 3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edge with 1 beaten large egg. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
3

Preheat the air fryer to 390°F. Lightly coat the basket with nonstick cooking spray.
4

Arrange egg rolls in a single layer, seam-side down, in the air fryer basket. Spray the tops generously with nonstick cooking spray.
5

Air fry at 390°F for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Check that the chicken filling reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Serve immediately with 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (for serving).

Questions

Can I make Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (4 oz cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (for serving)) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free appetizer collection instead.

Can I make Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls gluten-free?

Not cleanly. 12 egg roll wrappers has no substitute that behaves the same way in this dish. If you need strictly gluten-free, start from the gluten-free appetizer collection instead.

How long does Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Re-crisp leftovers in the air fryer at 350 F for three to four minutes; the microwave softens the coating.

Can I halve or double Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, air-fry in batches; a crowded basket steams instead of crisping.
