Ingredients
Scale

- ½ cup (118 ml) buffalo sauce (adjust for spice preference)
- 1 cup (226 grams) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup (113 grams) cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
- ½ cup (50 grams) green onions (chopped)
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil (for frying, optional)
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for dipping)
- Extra buffalo sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: Blend shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, creating a fiery mixture that coats the protein with bold, tangy heat.
- Enhance Mixture: Fold in cream cheese for luxurious creaminess, add cheddar for rich depth, and sprinkle green onions for a sharp, fresh accent.
- Season Blend: Incorporate salt and cracked pepper to balance the intense buffalo sauce and elevate the overall flavor profile.
- Wrap Assembly: Position egg roll wrapper diagonally, spoon buffalo chicken mixture into the center, ensuring even distribution for secure folding.
- Shape Technique: Fold bottom point upward, tuck side corners to create a neat envelope, then roll tightly toward the top point, sealing the edge with beaten egg.
- Cooking Method – Frying: Heat oil to medium temperature, carefully lower egg rolls in small batches, frying each side 2-3 minutes until golden-brown and crispy.
- Cooking Method – Baking: Alternatively, arrange on parchment-lined baking sheet, lightly oil, and bake at 425°F, flipping midway for even crispness.
- Finishing Touch: Remove from heat, drain on paper towels to preserve crisp exterior, allowing the buffalo chicken egg rolls to rest briefly before serving.
Notes
- Prep with Precision: Ensure chicken is thoroughly shredded and sauce-coated for maximum flavor infusion.
- Wrapper Wisdom: Use room temperature wrappers to prevent cracking and ensure smooth rolling technique.
- Temperature Control: Maintain consistent oil heat around 350°F to prevent soggy or burnt exteriors.
- Strategic Spacing: Fry or bake in small batches to guarantee even cooking and crispy golden finish.
