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

# 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 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 mixing 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. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
04 - 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.
05 - Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Cooking tips:

01 -
  • Theyre dangerously crispy on the outside with that addictive creamy spicy center that keeps everyone reaching for another.
  • You can prep them hours ahead and fry them right when guests arrive so you actually get to enjoy the party.
  • They taste like buffalo wings without the mess and give you that same satisfying crunch in every bite.
02 -
  • Dont skip sealing the edges with water or your filling will leak out and make a mess in the oil.
  • If your oil isnt hot enough the wrappers absorb grease and get soggy instead of crispy, so wait for it to reach 350 before you start frying.
  • Let the egg rolls rest for a minute after frying or the cheese inside will burn your mouth, trust me on this one.
03 -
  • Press out as much air as possible when you roll them so they stay tight and dont puff up weird in the oil.
  • Fry a test egg roll first to check your oil temp and filling ratio before you commit to the whole batch.
  • Double the recipe because they vanish faster than you think and everyone always wants more.
