Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls (Printer-friendly)
Crispy buffalo chicken and melty cheeses wrapped in crunchy egg roll shells, great for game-day snacks or parties.
# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken Filling
01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
03 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
05 - 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
06 - 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Egg Rolls
09 - 12 egg roll wrappers
10 - 1 large egg, beaten
11 - Vegetable oil, for frying
# How To Make It:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, blend the shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce, mozzarella, blue cheese if using, celery, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly combined.
02 - Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
03 - Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then tuck in both sides before rolling tightly. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to ensure a secure seal.
04 - Repeat the filling and rolling process with the remaining wrappers and chicken mixture.
05 - Pour enough vegetable oil into a deep-frying pot or deep-fryer to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat to 350°F.
06 - Fry the egg rolls in small batches for 3 to 4 minutes per batch, turning if necessary, until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
07 - Present warm egg rolls with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get spicy, cheesy, crispy bites all in one—no need to choose between wings or egg rolls.
- I started doubling the batch when I noticed people would sneak the last one before dinner was even served.
02 -
- If you overfill the wrappers, they’ll pop open and leak cheese into the oil—less is more here.
- Letting the rolled egg rolls rest for five minutes before frying helps seal them tight for ultimate crunch.
03 -
- A thermometer takes the guesswork out of frying—350°F is your magic number.
- If you like it extra spicy, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne into the filling before rolling.
