Instructions
Shredded Chicken
- Make shredded chicken using whatever method you prefer, or buy pre-cooked shredded chicken.
- The simplest method: Season the chicken cuts, add to a deep pot, and cover with water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your cuts.
- Remove from pot when chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Shred chicken using 2 forks or with a hand mixer.
Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls in Air Fryer
- In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mozzarella, cooled shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and green onion. Mix well to combine.
- Preheat air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
- Place one egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape on a clean, flat surface. (Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.)
- Spoon about 3 Tbsp buffalo chicken filling onto egg roll wrapper, near the top corner.
- Fold top corner over the mixture, pressing the sides of the fold down to make the seal stronger.
- Fold in both side corners, keeping the folds tight.
- Then, begin to roll down towards the bottom corner, forming a cigar shape and keeping the mixture tightly contained.
- Before completing the roll, brush remainder of wrapper with beaten egg to seal. (Like sealing an envelope flap.)
- Transfer sealed egg roll to a plate and cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap to prevent drying.
- Repeat to assemble all buffalo chicken egg rolls. (Yields ~8-10.)
- Spray down basket of preheated air fryer with cooking spray. Place 6-8 egg rolls into basket. (Air fryer egg rolls are best cooked in batches, with space between them.)
- Spray tops of rolls with cooking spray (or brush with oil) to help them crisp up and brown.
- Cook 10-12 minutes (no need to flip), until brown and crispy.
- Serve warm with ranch, blue cheese dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce!
