Description

Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls are a crispy, spicy snack combining tender cooked chicken, tangy buffalo sauce, creamy cheese, and fresh green onions, all wrapped in crunchy egg roll wrappers. Perfect for parties, game day, or a quick indulgent treat, this easy-to-make appetizer bursts with bold buffalo flavor and irresistible texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Assembly & Cooking

  • 10–12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing wrappers)
  • Vegetable or canola oil, for frying (about 2 inches deep)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Mix the shredded cooked chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions in a bowl until well combined and creamy, evenly coating the chicken with the buffalo flavor.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing towards you (diamond shape). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the corner closest to you. Fold that corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners and roll tightly towards the far corner. Seal the edge with beaten egg to keep the roll intact.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour oil into a deep skillet or pot to about 2 inches deep and heat over medium-high until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dipping an edge of a wrapper; it should sizzle immediately.
  4. Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil in batches to avoid crowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let cool for a minute and serve hot with ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or your favorite sauce.

Notes

  • Use cold filling to prevent wrappers from becoming soggy during assembly.
  • Do not overfill the wrappers to avoid bursting during frying.
  • Seal edges firmly with enough egg wash to keep the rolls closed.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for even cooking without greasy egg rolls.
  • Drain fried egg rolls on paper towels to keep them crisp.
