Ingredients
For the Filling:
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or boiled chicken works great)
1/2 cup buffalo sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing, if preferred)
2 green onions, finely chopped
For the Egg Rolls:
12 egg roll wrappers
1 large egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Optional for Serving:
Extra buffalo sauce
Ranch or blue cheese dressing
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, ranch dressing, and green onions. Mix until fully incorporated.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape). Add about 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture to the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the two side corners. Roll tightly, sealing the top corner with a small amount of beaten egg. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the egg rolls in batches, 3-4 at a time, for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately with extra buffalo sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
Variations: Substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing for a tangier flavor. You can also add diced celery or carrots to the filling for extra crunch.
Baking Option: For a lighter version, brush the egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Air Fryer Option: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Allergy Notes: Ensure the egg roll wrappers are free from allergens like gluten if needed. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free wrappers or rice paper rolls.
Spice Level: Adjust the buffalo sauce quantity to suit your spice preference.
