INGREDIENTS

Buffalo Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust for spice)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Egg Rolls

  • 8–10 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • Oil for frying (or spray for air fryer)

Optional Dipping Sauces

  • Ranch dressing
  • Blue cheese dressing
  • Extra buffalo sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 — Prepare the Filling

  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, cheddar, green onions, garlic powder, and salt.
  2. Mix until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Step 2 — Assemble Egg Rolls

  1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).
  2. Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of buffalo chicken filling near the corner closest to you.
  3. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
  4. Brush the opposite corner with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 3 — Cook the Egg Rolls

  1. For frying: Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C) and fry each egg roll until golden brown, 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  2. For air fryer: Lightly spray egg rolls with oil and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Step 4 — Serve

  1. Serve warm with ranch, blue cheese, or extra buffalo sauce for dipping.

Tips for Perfection

  • Don’t overfill the egg rolls to prevent bursting.
  • If using frozen egg roll wrappers, let them thaw completely before rolling.
  • Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and crispiness.
  • Air frying is a healthier alternative and keeps them just as crunchy.

Serving Ideas

  • Game Day Platter: Arrange on a large plate with dipping bowls of ranch and blue cheese.
  • Party Appetizer: Serve on a tiered tray for easy grab-and-go.
  • Meal Prep Snack: Wrap individually and refrigerate; reheat in the oven or air fryer.

Storage

  • Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
  • Reheat in a 375°F oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
