Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls (Print)

Golden egg rolls brimming with creamy, spicy buffalo chicken, melty cheese, and fresh green onions. A perfect savory bite.

# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 2 cups shredded cooked chicken, rotisserie or leftover
02 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/3 cup buffalo sauce, adjust to taste preference
04 - 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
05 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
06 - 2 green onions, finely chopped

→ Assembly

07 - 12 egg roll wrappers
08 - Small bowl of water for sealing

→ Cooking

09 - Vegetable or canola oil for frying
10 - Cooking spray for baking or air frying method

# Directions:

01 - Combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until creamy and evenly incorporated throughout the mixture.
02 - Position an egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the side corners inward. Roll tightly away from you, moisten the top corner with water, and press firmly to seal. Repeat for all wrappers and filling.
03 - Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 2 inches in a deep skillet and heat to 350°F. Fry egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
04 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly coat with cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until golden and crispy throughout.
05 - Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Place egg rolls in a single layer, lightly mist with cooking spray, and air fry for 8-10 minutes, turning once halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
06 - Allow egg rolls to cool for 5 minutes before serving to prevent burning. Serve warm with additional buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The crispy shell gives way to that impossibly creamy spicy center we all secretly crave from wing night
  • They come together faster than you can order delivery and disappear twice as quick
  • Freeze a batch unbaked and you are twenty minutes away from being everyone favorite host forever
02 -
  • Crowding the pan drops the oil temperature and makes soggy greasy egg rolls nobody wants
  • Let them rest for five minutes after cooking because that filling holds heat like lava
  • Freeze uncooked rolls on a tray first then bag them otherwise they stick together in one giant clump
03 -
  • Do not overfill the wrappers or they will burst during cooking and you will lose all that precious filling to the oil
  • Work quickly and keep unused wrappers under a damp towel because they dry out fast and become impossible to roll
