# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Theyre incredibly crispy without the mess or guilt of deep frying.
  • Each bite is packed with savory, garlicky chicken flavor that feels indulgent but stays light.
  • Perfect for sharing at gatherings or sneaking as a midday snack when no ones watching.
02 -
  • Dont skip the oil spray, even in the air fryer, or the wrappers wont crisp properly.
  • Make sure the filling isnt too wet; excess moisture will make the rolls soggy and prone to splitting.
  • Seal the edges well with egg, or the filling will leak out and create a mess in the basket.
03 -
  • Roll the bites tightly but gently, so the wrapper doesnt tear yet stays snug enough to hold the filling.
  • Preheat the air fryer for even browning, and dont overcrowd the basket or they wont crisp evenly.
  • Brush a tiny bit of oil directly on each roll before air frying for an extra golden finish.
