Crispy, spicy egg rolls filled with buffalo chicken, mozzarella and blue cheese, served with a cooling dip.
# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken Filling
01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
03 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
05 - 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
06 - 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Egg Rolls
09 - 12 egg roll wrappers
10 - 1 large egg, beaten
11 - Vegetable oil, for frying
# Directions:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded chicken breast, buffalo wing sauce, mozzarella cheese, crumbled blue cheese, chopped celery, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper until the filling is cohesive.
02 - Position an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling near the center.
03 - Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in both side corners, and tightly roll upward. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal the edge securely.
04 - Repeat the filling and rolling process with the remaining wrappers and prepared chicken mixture.
05 - Pour vegetable oil into a deep pot to a depth of 2 inches. Preheat to 350°F (175°F) using a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
06 - Working in batches, gently lower egg rolls into the oil. Fry 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crisp, turning occasionally for even cooking. Remove with tongs and drain briefly on paper towels.
07 - Arrange egg rolls on a platter and serve warm, accompanied by ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get all the spicy, cheesy joy of buffalo wings without the messy fingers.
- It’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser that’s just as fun to assemble solo as it is with friends pitching in.
02 -
- Once, I tried skipping the egg wash and the rolls unraveled as they fried—never again.
- Baking instead of frying works in a pinch, but brushing the outside lightly with oil boosts the crunch.
03 -
- Stick a fork in the edge of each roll to prevent overfilling, which can lead to bursting.
- A splash of vinegar in the buffalo sauce sharpens the flavor—just a dash changes everything.
