Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce
- 1/4 cup blue cheese or ranch dressing (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Egg Rolls
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Buffalo wing sauce, blue cheese or ranch dressing if using, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a creamy mixture.
- Fill the egg rolls: Lay out one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner facing you in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken filling near the corner closest to you. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll tightly towards the opposite corner and seal the edges with a small amount of water to prevent the egg rolls from opening during cooking.
- Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or frying pan to a depth of about 1 to 1.5 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) or until a small piece of egg roll wrapper sizzles upon contact.
- Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each egg roll for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve: Let the egg rolls cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with additional ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks for a tasty appetizer.
Notes
- For a healthier option, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level.
- To make ahead, prepare the filling and roll the egg rolls, then freeze uncooked and fry or bake directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to cooking time.
- Use gluten-free egg roll wrappers to make this recipe gluten-free.
