    Ingredients mixed together to make a buffalo chicken mixture.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Take an egg roll wrapper and add 2 tablespoons of filling to the center of the diamond. Don't overstuff the wrapper or it will break and spill out. Fold the top of the egg roll over the chicken mixture and bring the two sides to the center make an envelope. Wet the sides of the wrapper to help it stick. Roll the wrapper like a burrito until there is no more wrapper left. Look at the pictures or video for help.
    Folding the egg roll like a letter.
  • Place on a sheet pan evenly spaced out. Brush the top with olive oil. Cook for 25 minutes. Flip over, halfway through cooking. Cook until golden brown and crispy.
    2 tablespoons Olive Oil
    Raw egg rolls on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper ready for the oven.
  • Serve hot with a dipping sauce of ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Air Fryer Method-Preferred Method

  • Instead of placing on a sheet pan and cooking in the oven, preheat the air fryer to 375*F. Place the egg rolls at the bottom of an air fryer basket.
  • Air fry for 6-7 minutes. Check the cook progress as every air fryer cooks differently and time and heat may need to be adjusted.

Notes

  1. Once cooked, you can freeze in an air tight container or freezer friendly bag for up to 2 months. Thaw and reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp. You can reheat in the microwave but it will loose it's crispness. 
  2. Wet the sides of the egg roll wrapper to help it stay together.
  3. Don't overstuff the wrapper with the chicken mixture. 
  4. Make sure to soften the cream cheese or it will be very difficult to mix the ingredients together. 
  5. You can make this with ease by baking these in the oven or making them crispy in the air fryer. Cut the fat in half but still have that crispy texture by using these two methods instead of deep frying them.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon of ranch or blue cheese dressing to the chicken mixture. Or you can serve it on the side. 
  7. Make these in the air fryer for a crisper outside. See directions in the recipe card.
