Ingredients

1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
⅓ cup wing sauce

1/3 cup cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons cream cheese (room temperature)

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon dried dill
½ teaspoon dried chives
½ teaspoon salt

12 egg roll wrappers

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, wing sauce, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried chives, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 2: Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly. Dip your finger in water and brush it on the top corner of the wrapper before finishing the roll to seal it securely. Repeat with all wrappers.

Step 3: Lightly spray each egg roll with oil on all sides to help them crisp up during cooking.
Step 4: Arrange the egg rolls in a single layer in your air fryer basket, leaving space between each to allow air circulation. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook them in batches.
Step 5: Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6: Serve the egg rolls hot, ideally with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For a milder version, reduce the amount of wing sauce or substitute with a milder buffalo sauce.
Add finely chopped celery or green onions to the filling for extra crunch and freshness.

To bake instead of air frying, place egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400°F (204°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway.

Storage

Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the air fryer or oven at 350°F (175°C) until hot and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Avoid microwaving to keep them from becoming soggy.
