Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (Use rotisserie chicken for convenience)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (Adjust according to taste preference)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella; cheddar adds a nice flavor)
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped (Can substitute with chives)
Wrapping and Frying
- 1 package egg roll wrappers (Usually found in the freezer section)
- Cooking oil as needed for frying (Vegetable or canola oil works well)
Instructions
- Preparation: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well coated and evenly combined.
- Set Up Wrapping Station: Lay out a clean workspace and arrange the egg roll wrappers in a diamond orientation. Keep a small bowl of water nearby for sealing the edges of the egg rolls.
- Wrap the Egg Rolls: Place one egg roll wrapper on the diagonal. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the prepared chicken mixture onto the lower third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the sides inward and roll tightly. Moisten the top corner with water to seal the roll securely.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, pour about 2 inches of vegetable or canola oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil is hot enough, which you can test by dropping a small piece of bread; it should sizzle immediately.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully add 2-3 egg rolls at a time to the hot oil. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the wrappers turn a golden brown color and are crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving with your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce or use a mild variety.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid soggy egg rolls.
- You can freeze uncooked egg rolls wrapped tightly to fry later; just add a couple of extra minutes to the frying time.
- Substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella for a milder taste, or try pepper jack for extra spice.
- These egg rolls are best served fresh for optimal crispiness.
