Air Fryer Lumpia Chips (Print)

Crispy lumpia chips served with a creamy, savory chicken and cream cheese dip for a delicious snack.

# Components:

→ Lumpia Chips

01 - 12 lumpia (spring roll) wrappers
02 - 2 tablespoons neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
03 - ½ teaspoon salt
04 - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

→ Chicken Cream Cheese Dip

05 - 1 cup cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
06 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
07 - ¼ cup mayonnaise
08 - 2 tablespoons sour cream
09 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
10 - ¼ cup green onions, finely chopped
11 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
12 - ½ teaspoon onion powder
13 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
14 - ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

# Directions:

01 - Set the air fryer temperature to 350°F.
02 - Cut each lumpia wrapper into 4 strips or triangles. Lightly brush with neutral oil and sprinkle with salt and optional garlic powder.
03 - Arrange wrapper pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 4 to 5 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crisp. Repeat in batches as needed. Allow to cool.
04 - In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice until smooth.
05 - Fold in shredded chicken, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
06 - Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and offer immediately with the cooled lumpia chips or refrigerate until needed.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Those chips are dangerously crispy—you'll find yourself eating them straight from the cooling rack.
  • The dip is deceptively simple but tastes like a restaurant secret, all from things you probably have nearby.
  • The whole thing comes together in under 30 minutes, which means you can actually pull this off on a weeknight.
02 -
  • Overcrowding the air fryer basket steams the wrappers instead of crisping them—work in batches even if it feels inefficient.
  • Cold cream cheese will break your dip's texture; let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes before you start mixing, or your wrist will pay the price.
03 -
  • Shaking the air fryer basket halfway through is not optional—it's the difference between evenly crispy chips and some burned ones hiding under softer ones.
  • Let the cream cheese fully soften before mixing; it's the single most important step to avoid a lumpy, grainy dip that won't come together no matter how hard you stir.
