Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 cups (480 ml) cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cream cheese, softened
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) green onions, chopped
Wrapper and Cooking:
- 1 package egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Create a zesty filling by blending shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, mozzarella, cream cheese, and chopped green onions until thoroughly combined.
- Position an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you.
- Centralize a generous spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture onto the wrapper’s middle section.
- Carefully fold the bottom corner over the filling, tucking it snugly against the mixture.
- Fold both side corners inward to create a secure envelope shape.
- Roll the wrapper upward tightly, ensuring a compact and sealed cylindrical shape.
- Moisten the final corner with water to guarantee a secure closure.
- Repeat the wrapping process for remaining filling and wrappers.
- Heat cooking oil in a large skillet to 350°F, maintaining a medium-high temperature.
- Gently lower egg rolls into the hot oil, frying in small batches for 2-3 minutes per side until achieving a golden-brown exterior.
- Transfer fried egg rolls onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Serve immediately alongside ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce for optimal flavor and crunch.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting buffalo sauce quantity for mild or extra spicy preferences.
- Prevent soggy egg rolls by ensuring chicken mixture isn’t too wet before wrapping.
- Use low-moisture mozzarella cheese to maintain crispy texture during frying.
- Experiment with alternative protein options like pulled pork or plant-based alternatives for dietary variations.
