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)

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.

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.
