Ingredients

For this recipe, you’ll need the following:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 12 egg roll wrappers
• Oil for frying, preferably vegetable oil
• Blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, green onions, and cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
   • Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on one corner of the wrapper.
   • Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
3. Fry the Egg Rolls:
   • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan to 375°F (190°C).
   • Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
4. Serve Hot:
   • Serve your buffalo chicken egg rolls hot with a side of blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.

Helpful Tips

• Ensure Crispiness: To keep your egg rolls crispy, don’t overcrowd the frying pan. This keeps the oil temperature steady.
• Sealing: Make sure the edges of your egg rolls are sealed well to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.

Substitutions/Variations

• Vegetarian Option: Swap the chicken for a mix of mashed chickpeas, buffalo sauce, and a pinch of cumin.
• Cheese Variations: Try mozzarella or blue cheese crumbles instead of cheddar for a different flavor profile.
