Southwestern Egg Rolls

These egg rolls put Southwestern twist on traditional Chinese cuisine. This dish calls for tortillas as wrappers and they are stuffed with chicken, bell pepper, corn, beans, jalapeños, and spinach — but you can customize them however you like. And according to reviewers, you can deep fry or bake them.

Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos

Combining the ease of the Air Fryer with rotisserie chicken means these taquitos are ready in no time. Recipe creator and Allrecipes Allstar Yoly recommends serving them with sour cream, Mexican tomato sauce, guacamole, or any of your favorite sides.

Chicken Caesar Toasts

This recipe serves the classic salad on crostini for the perfect bite-sized appetizer. The toasts are topped with garlic, oil, and a rotisserie chicken salad. Creator Ben S. suggests garnishing the appetizer with Parmesan cheese and romaine lettuce to make it a true Caesar salad.

Outrageous Warm Chicken Nacho Dip

"This is my jazzed up version of classic queso dip taken to a heartier level, perfect for football games, tailgating or for taking along to pot lucks in a slow cooker! This is a serious crowd-pleaser that is served hot as a dip, spooned over crisp tortilla chips nacho-style, or rolled up in a warm flour tortilla! The heat can be turned up or down with the addition of jalapenos to taste," said creator brightlightz.

Mini Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls

"As usual Chef John hit another home run, wife loved these and we will be making them many more times. The right amount of filling to wrap and they are so crisp and crunchy," said reviewer Kirt. Chef John suggests serving them alongside extra Buffalo sauce for dipping.

Rotisserie Chicken Salad

This chicken salad recipe is ready in only 20 minutes and can be served with crackers, crostini, pitas, or anything else you like. "Really good! I love chicken salad and liked the spice this recipe added. Plus not having to cook the chicken was nice," according to reviewer Erin Taylor.

Chicken Enchilada Dip

"This spicy baked chicken and cheese dip is a real crowd pleaser, and tastes great with chips or crackers," according to recipe creator Kelley. And you can make the dip even easier by replacing the chicken breast with rotisserie chicken.

Hot Buffalo Chicken, Bacon, and Cheese Sandwich

This flavorful sandwich is the perfect hearty appetizer. Reviewers suggest increasing the amount of hot sauce and mixing it into the chicken if you want more spice. Reviewers also recommend baking open-faced in the oven to melt the cheese.

Buffalo Chicken Nacho Bowl

This one-bowl nacho recipe is easy to make and can be assembled in 15 minutes or less. This dish is completely customizable, and while many reviewers used more wing sauce to up the heat, you can tame it based on preference. "Got to love it when my flavorite favorite snacks collide into a single bowl. I am a big fan of Buffalo Chicken flavor but eating wings is a huge mess for my hands. This dish is great because it's not nearly as messy but still has all of those great flavors that pair perfectly with a cold bottle of beer," said reviewer Esmee Williams.

Authentic Chicken Empanadas (Empanadas de Pollo)

This empanada recipe calls for shredded chicken, so save some prep time by using your rotisserie chicken.

Potato round nachos put a fun spin on an easy appetizer. And because these are made in the air fryer, they are ready in less than 30 minutes. "This appetizer takes minimal prep time thanks to ingredients like rotisserie chicken, salsa, and Tater Tots®! Make it as mild as you want for the kids, or as mouth-burning as you want for those who wish to have an inferno experience," said creator and Allrecipes Allstar thedailygourmet.

Baked Chicken Parmesan Dip

If you like chicken Parmesan and want to try something instead of traditional Buffalo chicken dip, this appetizer is for you. "I would make this again even if it were hard to do, but luckily it's super easy. Unlike actual chicken Parmesan where that crispy breading gets soggy super fast, this goes over crunchy toast so the textural experience is probably even better," said creator Chef John. Reviewers say it is best served hot with crostini.

No Bake Pizza Appetizer

This recipe requires no baking, and if you use rotisserie chicken, no cooking either. A store-bought pizza crust is smothered with spinach dip, chicken, broccoli, onions, and tomatoes — or whatever else you like. "This is a great appetizer. Very easy and everyone that has tried it loves it," according to reviewer lisdee.
