Cooking Time

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 5–6 minutes (per batch)
Total Time: 25–30 minutes
Servings: 12 egg rolls

Ingredients

2 cups cooked shredded chicken
½ cup buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
12 egg roll wrappers
1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
Chopped green onions (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Make the Filling

In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese until well combined and creamy.

2. Fill the Egg Rolls

Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Brush the top edge with beaten egg and roll tightly to seal.

3. Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet or fryer, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a paper towel-lined plate for draining.

4. Fry the Egg Rolls

Carefully place a few egg rolls at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove with tongs and drain on the paper towel-lined plate.

5. Serve

Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side. Sprinkle with green onions if desired.
