Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
Classic buffalo chicken dip turned into delicious and crispy Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls. They’re easy to make and a great game day appetizer or snack!
Pile on that shredded chicken, cream cheese, hot sauce, ranch dressing, and more! These buffalo chicken egg rolls are filled with that classic buffalo chicken dip you know and love, and wrapped in egg roll wrappers that get crispy in the air fryer or oven.
Why This Recipe Works
- Multiple cooking options: I love making these buffalo chicken egg rolls in the air fryer, but they can also be made in the oven, or even pan fried.
- Packed with flavor: Crispy on the outside and stuffed with bold buffalo flavor, gooey cheese, and creamy ranch dressing.
- Great for dipping: Pair with a dipping sauce—trust me, they’re absolutely fantastic with some ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Chicken – You can use chicken breasts, but to save time, I like to use a rotisserie chicken from the store.
- Cheese – You’ll need whipped cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Dressings and sauce – Add that classic (and loved) buffalo flavor with ranch dressing and buffalo hot sauce!
- Vegetables – Add a subtle peppery crunch with fresh green onions.
- Egg roll wrappers – Wrap it all up with egg roll wrappers. They’re easy to work with and get super crispy when baked.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
- Make the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, cheeses, and green onions. Fold in chicken. Place an egg roll wrapper on your working surface
- Fill the egg rolls. Place two tablespoons of the filling crosswise in the center of the bottom half of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling and roll snugly halfway to cover the filling.
- Seal egg rolls. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold in both sides snugly against filling. Roll and seal top corner. Lay seam side down until ready to cook.
- Air fry egg rolls. Brush a thin layer of olive oil over the egg rolls. Place in the air fryer basket seam side down and cook 6-7 minutes. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Recipe FAQs
Cooking in batches means you’ll have to keep the finished egg rolls warm while the others cook. Grab a baking sheet or cooling rack and place the egg rolls you have made on it. Once you have them all arranged, pop them into a warm, low-temperature oven (200 F is usually good) to keep them warm, but not continue to cook.
Preheat the air fryer to 300 F. Then place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until reheated to your liking.
To freeze your chicken egg rolls, assemble and air fry or bake as instructed. Once they are done, allow the egg rolls to cool completely and then transfer them into a freezer bag or airtight container.
To maximize the shelf life of your wrappers, toss them in the freezer and pull them out when needed. By storing them in the freezer correctly, it will allow them to last for about 6 months.

Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded chicken, I like to use a rotisserie chicken

- 3/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 20 egg roll wraps
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375° F. (See notes for oven instructions)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, shredded cheeses, and sliced green onions. Then fold in the chicken.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Place two tablespoons of the filling crosswise in the center of the bottom half of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling and roll snugly half-way to cover filling. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold in both sides snugly against filling. Roll and seal top corner. Lay seem side down until ready to cook.
- Brush a thin layer of olive oil over all sides of the egg rolls. Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket, seem side down and cook 6-7 minutes. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
- If working in batches, place cooked egg rolls in the oven at 200° F to keep them warm. When ready, garnish with more sliced green onions if you like and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Oven instructions: preheat the oven to 425 F. Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet in a single layer and brush a thin layer of olive oil over all sides. Bake on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes, flip and cook 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
- If cooking in the air fryer, flipping isn’t 100% necessary but it does help to give them a more even browning.
