Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls (Printable)

Golden crispy rolls filled with spicy buffalo chicken and creamy cheese blend

# Ingredient List:

→ Filling

01 - 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
02 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
04 - 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
05 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
06 - 2 green onions, finely chopped

→ Assembly

07 - 12 egg roll wrappers
08 - Water for sealing

→ Cooking

09 - Vegetable or canola oil for frying
10 - Cooking spray for baking or air frying

# How-to Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Mix until creamy and evenly incorporated.
02 - Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold the side corners in, then roll tightly away from you. Moisten the top corner with water and seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
03 - Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
04 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Place egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
05 - Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Arrange egg rolls in a single layer, spray lightly with cooking spray, and air fry for 8-10 minutes, turning once, until crisp.
06 - Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with extra buffalo sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • All the creamy, tangy heat of buffalo chicken dip wrapped in a shatteringly crisp shell.
  • You can fry, bake, or air fry them depending on your mood and your equipment.
  • They disappear faster than you can make them, which is both a compliment and a warning.
02 -
  • Don't skip softening the cream cheese or you'll end up with lumpy filling that won't spread evenly.
  • Seal the wrappers tightly with water or they'll pop open in the oil and leak everywhere.
  • If frying, keep the oil temperature steady around 350°F so they cook through without burning on the outside.
03 -
  • Use a candy thermometer to monitor oil temperature if frying, consistency is key for even cooking.
  • Don't crowd the pan or air fryer basket, give each egg roll space so they crisp up on all sides.
  • Taste your filling before you roll, it's easier to adjust the heat or salt level before everything is wrapped up.
