Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls (Printer-friendly)

Golden, crispy rolls packed with spicy buffalo chicken, creamy cheese, and crisp vegetables. A perfect party starter or snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ For the 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 cup finely shredded carrots
06 - 1 cup finely chopped celery
07 - 2 green onions, finely sliced
08 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
09 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

→ For Assembly

10 - 12 egg roll wrappers
11 - Small bowl of water (for sealing)

→ For Frying

12 - Vegetable oil, for deep frying (about 4 cups)

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, mozzarella, blue cheese, carrots, celery, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
02 - Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Place 2–3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly, using a little water to seal the top corner.
03 - Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling until all ingredients are used.
04 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350°F.
05 - Fry egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 3–4 minutes per batch). Remove and drain on paper towels.
06 - Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The crispy shell gives you that satisfying crunch while keeping all that spicy cheesy goodness inside
  • They're basically portable buffalo wings but way less messy to eat at parties
  • You can prep them ahead and fry just before serving, making them perfect for hosting
02 -
  • If your filling is too wet, the egg rolls can get soggy inside—drain any excess liquid before wrapping
  • Don't overcrowd the pan while frying or the oil temperature will drop and you'll end up with greasy egg rolls
  • Work quickly with the wrappers because they dry out fast and become difficult to seal
03 -
  • Get the oil temperature right—if it's too cool, the egg rolls absorb too much oil, and if it's too hot, they burn before cooking through
  • Use a kitchen spider or slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil so excess oil drains off quickly
