Recipe FAQs

Place cooked egg rolls on a wire rack instead of paper towels, allowing air to circulate and prevent sogginess. Serve promptly for the best crunch.

Reheat in an air fryer or oven at 375°F until heated through and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid microwaving to maintain crunch.

→ Is it possible to prepare these in advance?

What You’ll Need to Make This

→ Filling

01 280 g finely diced rotisserie chicken
02 113 g sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
03 113 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
04 113 g cream cheese, softened
05 60 ml buffalo sauce, plus extra for serving
06 28 g dry ranch seasoning mix (1 packet or 2 tablespoons)

→ Assembly

07 8 egg roll wrappers
08 Water, for sealing

→ Serving

09 Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, for dipping

How to Prepare

Step 01

In a large bowl, thoroughly combine rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, and ranch seasoning until evenly mixed.

Step 02

Working with one wrapper at a time, place approximately 1/3 cup of filling onto the center of each egg roll wrapper. Lightly moisten the edges with water, fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the right and left corners toward the center, and roll tightly to enclose.

Step 03

Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Arrange filled egg rolls in the fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray. Air fry for 3–4 minutes, turn each egg roll, spray again, and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Step 04

Present hot egg rolls with ranch or blue cheese dressing and extra buffalo sauce as desired.

Step 05

Heat 5–7 cm of vegetable oil in a deep pot to 185°C. Fry 3–4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, for about 3 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels; ensure oil temperature returns to 185°C between batches.

Step 06

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the egg rolls on the sheet, spray or brush the tops with oil, and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Extra Tips

  1. Ensure a tight seal on the egg roll wrappers to prevent leakage during cooking.
  2. Rotisserie chicken offers convenience, but any cooked shredded chicken may be substituted.
