Combine cream cheese, garlic and chives in a bowl and mix together until smooth.
Scoop a small amount into the wrapper and dampen the edges with water and fold to seal the edges.
Preheat Air Fryer to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C.
Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray, then add the wontons to the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the wontons with oil and air fry for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway through, and cook until golden brown.

Heat 2-inches of cooking oil to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C in a pan with deep sides over medium high heat.
When the oil has come to temperature, add the wontons and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden.
Place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off the excess oil.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C.
Line a baking tray with parchment or a silicone mat and add the wontons in a single layer on the try.
Brush the wontons with an egg wash and bake for about 10 minutes or until golden in color.

Bring the cream cheese to room temperature before making the filling.
Finely chop the green onions before adding to the mixture.
Don’t overfill wontons or they will be difficult to seal and the filling will ooze out during frying.
When folding the cream cheese wontons, don’t over moisten the edges or the wontons can become soggy.
Spray the tray with a light coating of oil before adding the wontons to prevent them from sticking.
Place finished wontons under a damp paper towel while you work to keep them from drying out.
Leave space between the wontons or they may stick together and become chewy instead of crispy.
Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for 1-2 days.
