Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls (Print)

Crispy wrappers enclose a creamy, spicy buffalo chicken and cheddar filling. A perfect savory bite for any gathering or craving.

# Components:

→ Filling

01 - 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or leftover)
02 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
04 - 1/4 cup ranch dressing 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

# Directions:

01 - Combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, cheddar cheese, and green onions in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until creamy and evenly incorporated.
02 - Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling into the center of the wrapper.
03 - Fold the bottom corner over the filling. Fold both side corners inward, then roll tightly away from you. Moisten the top corner with water and press firmly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
04 - Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
05 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, lightly coat with cooking spray, and bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crisp.
06 - Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Place egg rolls in a single layer, spray lightly with cooking spray, and air fry for 8–10 minutes, turning once until crispy.
07 - Let egg rolls cool for 5 minutes before serving. Accompany with extra buffalo sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everyone will fight over the last one, guaranteed
  • The filling can be made ahead and kept in the fridge for easy assembly later
02 -
  • Overfilling the wrappers causes them to split during cooking, so err on the side of less filling per roll
  • The filling must be completely cool before wrapping, or the wrappers will become soggy and tear
03 -
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan or air fryer, or the egg rolls will steam instead of crisp
  • Let fried egg rolls drain on a wire rack instead of paper towels for maximum crunch
