Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 cups (473 ml) cooked chicken (shredded)
- ½ cup (118 ml) buffalo sauce (adjust for spice preference)
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup (226 grams) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
Additional Ingredients:
- ½ cup (50 grams) green onions (chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Cooking oil (for frying, optional)
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for dipping)
- Extra buffalo sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Craft a zesty filling by thoroughly blending shredded chicken with bold buffalo sauce, creating a fiery base that coats every morsel of protein with tangy heat.
- Incorporate velvety cream cheese to provide a luxurious, creamy texture that softens the spicy punch, then fold in sharp cheddar for a rich, melty dimension.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions throughout the mixture, introducing a fresh, sharp accent that cuts through the richness and adds vibrant color.
- Season the filling with subtle salt and cracked pepper to enhance the overall flavor profile and balance the intense buffalo sauce.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper diagonally on a clean surface, positioning it like a diamond to prepare for wrapping.
- Carefully spoon the prepared buffalo chicken mixture into the center of the wrapper, ensuring an even distribution that allows for secure folding.
- Gently fold the bottom point of the wrapper upward, encasing the filling and creating a snug foundation for the roll.
- Carefully tuck in the side corners, creating a neat envelope that prevents the filling from escaping during cooking.
- Tightly roll the wrapper toward the top point, maintaining a compact and uniform shape.
- Seal the final edge using a light brushing of beaten egg, which acts as a natural adhesive to secure the wrap.
- For frying, heat oil in a large skillet until it reaches a consistent medium temperature, creating an ideal environment for golden, crispy exterior.
- Carefully lower the egg rolls into the hot oil, cooking in small batches to maintain optimal temperature and prevent overcrowding.
- Fry each side for 2-3 minutes, rotating to achieve an even, golden-brown crust that promises a satisfying crunch.
- Alternatively, for a lighter option, arrange the egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly brush or spray with oil.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F, transforming the wraps into crispy, golden treats by flipping midway through the cooking process.
- Remove from oil or oven and let the buffalo chicken egg rolls rest on paper towels to drain excess oil, ensuring a perfectly crisp exterior.
