Spicy, cheesy buffalo chicken wrapped in crispy egg roll shells - perfect finger food for parties and game day.
# 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 (optional)
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
# Steps:
01 - Combine shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, mozzarella cheese, blue cheese if desired, chopped celery, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir until evenly mixed.
02 - Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface with a corner facing you. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in both sides, rolling tightly. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal.
03 - Continue filling and rolling remaining wrappers using the same method until all filling and wrappers are used.
04 - Pour vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat oil to 350°F.
05 - Fry egg rolls in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per batch, turning as needed, until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
06 - Serve egg rolls warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- This recipe gives you cozy appetizer vibes but with a spicy surprise at every bite.
- It’s ridiculously easy to prep ahead for parties or late night snacks.
02 -
- If the wrappers tear while rolling, patch them with a bit of egg and press gently—it totally works.
- Baking is tasty, but frying gives you that irresistible crunch everyone secretly craves (I tried both, more than once).
03 -
- Work with just a few wrappers at a time so they stay pliable while you roll.
- A sprinkle of extra mozzarella inside turns every roll into an oozy, cheesy treat.
