Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (mild, medium, or hot to taste)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, chopped
Assembly & Cooking
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying (canola or vegetable oil, enough for deep frying)
Optional for Serving
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing
- Chopped green onions or fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Celery and carrot sticks (side)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper flat with a corner pointing toward you. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edge with a dab of water to prevent leaks during frying.
- Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls in batches and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy the egg rolls immediately while hot and crispy. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, garnished with chopped green onions or parsley if desired.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the egg rolls to avoid tearing or leaking during frying.
- Seal edges firmly with water to prevent oil from seeping inside.
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience and rich flavor.
- Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for an even crisp without excess oil absorption.
- Drain fried egg rolls on paper towels to keep them crispy and less greasy.
