# Expert tips:

01 -
  • The lumpia wrappers turn impossibly crisp in the air fryer without any deep frying mess.
  • The dip is creamy, savory, and just tangy enough to keep you reaching for more chips.
  • It comes together in half an hour and feels fancy enough for guests but easy enough for a Tuesday.
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket or the chips will steam instead of crisp, work in batches and resist the urge to pile them up.
  • Let the chips cool completely before serving or they'll go soft from trapped steam, patience pays off here.
  • If your cream cheese is straight from the fridge, microwave it for 10 seconds to soften it or you'll be fighting lumps forever.
03 -
  • Use kitchen scissors to cut the lumpia wrappers, it's faster and cleaner than a knife and you won't accidentally tear them.
  • Let the air fryer preheat fully before adding the chips, it makes all the difference in getting that perfect golden crisp.
  • Taste the dip before serving and adjust the lemon juice or salt, every batch of chicken and cream cheese is slightly different.
