Crispy buffalo chicken and melty cheese tucked into crunchy egg roll wrappers, served with ranch or blue cheese.
# 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
# Step-by-step:
01 - Combine shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, mozzarella, blue cheese, celery, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until evenly blended.
02 - Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
03 - Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the upper corner with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and mixture.
04 - Pour vegetable oil into a deep-frying pot to a depth of 2 inches. Heat oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
05 - Working in batches, fry egg rolls for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Turn as needed for even cooking, then transfer to paper towels to drain.
06 - Enjoy warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The crispy exterior and melty, spicy center are pure crave-material—no boring appetizers here.
- I keep coming back to this because it feels effortless and never fails to impress, even with last-minute guests.
02 -
- If you overstuff the wrappers, they’re a pain to seal and will likely burst in the oil; less is more.
- Switching to baking instead of frying when I ran out of oil one night led to a surprisingly light (but still crisp) version—worth remembering if you want fewer splatters.
03 -
- Only roll a few at a time and keep the others covered—a dry wrapper is impossible to seal and shatters when fried.
- Sealing all edges with egg wash avoids surprise leaks, so don’t rush this step.
