Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast or thighs
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup julienned or finely shredded carrots

Assembly

  • 810 egg roll wrappers
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for frying or baking

Optional

  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Mix shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until all pieces are evenly coated. Stir in shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and shredded carrots to combine creamy texture with fresh crunch.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay egg roll wrappers on a clean flat surface. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture near one corner. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a little water to prevent filling from escaping during cooking.
  3. Cook to Crispy Perfection: For frying, heat oil in a pan to 350°F and cook egg rolls for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. For baking, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), lightly brush or spray egg rolls with oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through for even crispness.

Notes

  • Use room temperature filling to keep wrappers from becoming soggy during assembly.
  • Don’t overfill the wrappers to ensure secure folding and crisp edges.
  • Seal edges thoroughly with water or egg wash to avoid leaking while cooking.
  • Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for frying to achieve evenly crispy, non-greasy egg rolls.
  • Let cooked egg rolls rest briefly before serving to allow filling to set and avoid burns.
