    8 Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls

    I love deep-fried crunchy egg rolls but if you want to make them a little healthier, feel free to air fry or bake them instead. More egg roll recipes you may like, air fryer cheeseburger egg rolls or chicken avocado egg rolls.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Egg Roll Wrappers – These can be found in the refrigerated section at most grocery stores. Spring roll wrappers work too!
    • Chicken – I highly recommend using store-bought rotisserie chicken to save yourself some time. But of course, you can boil or bake 2-3 chicken breasts for this recipe. If using rotisserie chicken, make sure to discard the bones, skin, and fat.
    • Ranch Dressing – If you’re not a fan of ranch dressing use your favorite creamy dressing.
    • Blue Cheese Crumbles – Completely optional but adds great flavor!
    • Buffalo Sauce – Hot sauce works too!
    • Cream Cheese – Make sure it’s softened at room temperature.

    Top Tips

    • Although I finely diced the chicken, feel free to shred it instead.
    • Taste the filling before adding it to the egg roll wrapper and adjust it to your liking. Add spices or salt and pepper, if needed.
    • Use a candy thermometer to measure the oil. The oil should be at 325 degrees F.
    • Make sure to tightly seal the egg rolls so the filling doesn’t escape while it fries.
    • Don’t overfill the egg roll wrappers otherwise, they can explode.
    • Allow the buffalo chicken egg rolls to cool for at least 3-5 minutes before eating.

    Air Fryer Instructions:

    Spray your air fryer basket with nonstick spray and place the egg rolls in the basket. Spray the egg rolls with nonstick spray so they get a nice color. Cook for 4 minutes at 400 degrees F. Once the 4 minutes are up, flip the egg rolls and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

    Baking Instructions:

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the egg rolls on the prepared baking dish, brush with oil, and bake for 15-17 minutes or until crispy.

    Can I Make These Ahead Of Time?

    Yes, of course. You can prepare the egg rolls, cover them, and refrigerate them for up to one day.

    Storage

    Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave or air fryer for 1-2 minutes.
