Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt, pepper, cumin, allspice, coriander, cayenne pepper, grated garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly until the seasoning is evenly distributed.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The seasoning is evenly distributed through the chicken. Mix thoroughly before wrapping.

  2. Briefly dip each rice paper sheet in a shallow dish of water, just enough to soften it without soaking, then lay it flat on a clean surface.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The rice paper is softened but still easy to handle. Dip briefly so it does not become too soft.

  3. Place a portion of the seasoned chicken mixture onto the center of each softened rice paper sheet and spread it evenly, then roll the sheet tightly around the filling to form a popper.

  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (400°F). Arrange the chicken poppers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch.

  5. Air‑fry the poppers for 14 minutes, or until the rice paper is golden and crisp and the chicken is cooked through.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The rice paper is golden and crisp and the chicken is cooked through. Arrange in a single layer so the poppers crisp evenly.

  6. While the poppers are cooking, prepare the dip by mixing the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, dill, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The dip is smooth and tangy.

  7. Serve the hot poppers with the tangy yogurt dip on the side.
