Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
Delicious buffalo chicken egg rolls, combining spicy chicken with a crispy wrapper, perfect for parties or as a snack.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce Use your favorite brand.
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese Replace with any cheese of your choice.
- 10-12 pieces egg roll wrappers Look for them in the refrigerated section.
- water for sealing Use sparingly to moisten edges.
- 2-3 cups vegetable oil For frying, use a neutral oil.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and shredded cheese. Mix until the chicken is well coated and the cheese is distributed.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you like a diamond. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken filling just below the center.
- Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold in the two side corners towards the center, making an envelope shape.
- Moisten the top corner edge with a little water using your finger. Roll the wrapper up tightly from the bottom towards the moistened top corner to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
Cooking
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Achieving and maintaining the correct oil temperature is key to preventing sogginess.
- Carefully add 3-4 egg rolls to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Frying in small batches allows the oil temperature to stay consistent and ensures even cooking and crispness.
- Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Using tongs, remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Allow the oil to return to 350°F (175°C) before adding the next batch. Repeat the frying process with the remaining egg rolls.
Serving
- Serve hot, perhaps with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
These egg rolls are best served hot and crispy. If you have leftover egg rolls, let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes to restore their crispiness.
