How To Make Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls

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

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and ranch seasoning. Mix well until everything is blended together.
2. Take one egg roll wrapper and scoop ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture into the center.
3. Lightly wet 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 lightly to seal. Roll the wrapper tightly to enclose the filling completely.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Place the egg rolls in the basket. You may need to do this in batches if your air fryer is small. Spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray.
5. Air fry the egg rolls for 3-4 minutes until they start to brown. Flip them over, spray again, and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Serve the hot egg rolls with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping and extra buffalo sauce if you want more heat.
