Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls (Printable)

Crispy egg rolls with spicy buffalo chicken, cheese, and vegetables—perfect for game day snacking.

# Ingredient List:

→ 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 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ For Assembly

10 - 12 egg roll wrappers
11 - Water for sealing

→ For Frying

12 - 4 cups vegetable oil for deep frying

# 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 to 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 the folding and rolling process with remaining wrappers and filling until all egg rolls are prepared.
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, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
06 - Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Tips from the Pros:

01 -
  • They taste like your favorite buffalo wings but wrapped in a crispy shell you can eat with one hand.
  • The combination of melted cheese and tangy sauce creates this creamy contrast that makes every bite addictive.
  • You can prep them hours ahead and fry them right before guests arrive, which saved me more than once.
02 -
  • If your oil isnt hot enough, the wrappers will absorb grease and turn soggy instead of crispy.
  • Dont overfill the wrappers or theyll burst open in the fryer, I learned that the messy way.
  • Let the filling cool slightly before wrapping so the heat doesnt make the wrappers tear.
03 -
  • Use a candy thermometer clipped to the side of your pot to keep the oil temperature steady.
  • If you dont have blue cheese, try adding a spoonful of cream cheese to the filling for extra creaminess.
  • Double the batch and freeze half uncooked so you always have a quick appetizer ready to fry.
