Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Rolls
Enjoy these crispy air fryer chicken rolls filled with tender chicken and fresh avocado, seasoned perfectly with soy and sesame oils.
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons grape seed oil ( or vegetable oil)
- 3 cloves garlic (, minced)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or fish sauce (use Tamari for gluten free))
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1-2 avocados (, sliced lengthwise)
- fresh lettuce (, chopped or torn in small pieces)
- fresh basil (, mint or other herbs)
- carrots, celery, cucumbers, daikon radish or bell peppers (, cut into thin strips)
- 8 sheets rice paper ((approximately depending on how large you roll the spring rolls) , about 8 inches in diameter)
Instructions
- Make the Peanut Dip: Combine hoisin, peanut butter, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice (optional), and chili hot sauce (optional) in a bowl. Gradually add water until desired dip consistency is reached. Blend if making a large batch for smoothness. The dip may thicken as it rests.
- Prepare Chicken for Air Frying: Pat chicken breasts dry. Make shallow slits in thicker breasts for even cooking. Coat chicken with grape seed oil, salt, and pepper.
- Air Fry Chicken: Preheat air fryer basket with oil. Place chicken in a single layer. Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 10 minutes.
- Flip Chicken: Turn chicken over and continue to air fry at 380°F (195°C) for another 4-8 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Rest and Slice Chicken: Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes, then slice into long, thin pieces.
- Assemble Spring Rolls: Prepare a large bowl of warm water. Slice avocado and gather cooked chicken, sliced avocado, lettuce, herbs, julienned vegetables, and rice paper wrappers.
- Dip and Soften Rice Paper: Gently dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water for a few seconds until pliable. Do not oversoak. Place on a clean surface.
- Fill and Roll: Arrange fillings (chicken, avocado, veggies, lettuce, herbs) on the softened rice paper. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a spring roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is cooked through to 165°F (75°C) for food safety.
- Do not oversoak rice paper; it should be pliable, not mushy.
- Experiment with different herbs and vegetables based on seasonal availability.
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
