1. Cook the Coleslaw Mix: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and celery. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often. Add the coleslaw mix and cook until the cabbage softens, about 2 minutes.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the ground chicken, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Break up the chicken as it cooks. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and the liquid has evaporated, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the green onions and remove the skillet from the heat.
3. Add Filling: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling onto the bottom half of the wrapper.
4. Fold Bottom: Fold the bottom corner over the filling. Fold in both sides.
5. Roll: Roll it up tightly like a burrito. Moisten the top edge with water and press to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
6. Air Fry: Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil. Air fry at 400°F for 6 minutes. Flip the egg rolls, spray the other side with more oil, and cook for another 6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
