Crispy egg rolls with spicy buffalo chicken, creamy cheese, and fresh vegetables—ready in 45 minutes.

# What You Need:

→ 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

→ Assembly

10 - 12 egg roll wrappers
11 - Water for sealing

→ Frying

12 - 4 cups vegetable oil for deep frying

# How-To 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.
03 - Repeat the assembly process with remaining wrappers and filling until all ingredients are used.
04 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
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 - Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They stay crispy on the outside while the filling stays creamy and spicy, giving you the perfect contrast in every bite.
  • You can prep them hours ahead and fry them right before guests arrive, making hosting so much easier.
  • They taste like your favorite buffalo wings but in a handheld, dippable form that doesnt leave your fingers messy.
02 -
  • Dont overfill the wrappers or theyll burst open in the oil, I learned this the hard way when cheese oozed everywhere and made a mess of my first batch.
  • Let the oil come back up to temperature between batches, or the egg rolls will absorb too much oil and turn out soggy instead of crispy.
03 -
  • Press out as much air as possible when rolling so the wrappers stay tight and dont puff up unevenly in the oil.
  • If the wrappers start drying out while you work, cover them with a damp towel to keep them pliable and easy to seal.
