Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups shredded chicken (cooked) Shredded cooked chicken can be leftover or rotisserie.
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce Adjust based on your preferred spice level.
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese Softened for easier mixing.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese You can substitute with other cheese if desired.
For Wrapping and Frying
  • 1 package egg roll wrappers Available in most grocery stores.
  • Oil for frying Vegetable or canola oil works well.
For Serving (Optional)
  • 1 cup ranch dressing For dipping.
  • 1 cup blue cheese dressing For dipping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until everything is well incorporated and creamy.
Wrapping
  1. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner facing you. Add about 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center.
  2. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly, sealing the top corner with a bit of water.
  3. Repeat this process until all the filling is used.
Cooking
  1. In a deep frying pan, heat a couple of inches of oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of an egg roll wrapper; if it bubbles and floats to the top, it’s hot enough.
  2. Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them as needed.
  3. Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
Serving
  1. Enjoy your Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls hot, with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

Customize the spice level of the buffalo sauce to your taste and try different dipping sauces for variety. You can prepare the egg rolls ahead of time and freeze them for later.
