Instructions

Prepare the Filling: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cook the Chicken: Add the minced chicken to the pan and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently until fully cooked and no longer pink.
Season the Filling: Add chili powder, red chili flakes, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the chicken. Stir to combine, then add soy sauce and hot sauce. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Assemble the Rolls: Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean flat surface. Spoon some chicken mixture onto the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edge with a little water to secure.
Cook the Rolls: For frying, heat oil to 350°F and fry rolls for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, bake at 400°F for 18 to 20 minutes, turning once halfway through, or air fry at 380°F for 10 to 12 minutes until crisp.
Serve: Drain cooked rolls on paper towels if fried to remove excess oil. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce or yogurt dip.

Notes

Adjust spice levels by increasing or reducing red chili flakes and hot sauce to your preference.
Air fryer cooking method is a great alternative for a healthier option.
