How to make crispy chicken egg rolls?

In a skillet over medium-high heat cook the ground chicken with ginger powder, garlic powder, and allspice until done.

Stir in the sesame oil, coleslaw mix, and green onions until the coleslaw mix is tender. Cool slightly.

Brush the beaten egg along the outside of the wrapper.

Bring two of the corners to the center.

Bring the bottom corner up over the center.

Roll each egg roll up tightly and brush the outside lightly with the beaten egg.

Preheat the air fryer to 400.

Place the egg rolls in the basket and cook for 6 minutes until golden brown.

Serve with sweet & sour sauce if desired and enjoy!

How to store egg rolls properly?

Allow the cooked egg rolls to cool completely before storing them. This step prevents condensation and helps retain their crispy texture.

If you plan to serve the egg rolls within a day or two, you can store them in the refrigerator. Place the cooled egg rolls in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. This prevents them from drying out and helps maintain their flavor.

Can I freeze egg rolls?

If you want to store egg rolls for a longer period, freezing is the best option. First, let the egg rolls cool down completely. Then, place the egg rolls in a freezer-safe bag or container to prevent freezer burn. Make sure to remove as much air as possible before sealing.
