Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2–3 fresh jalapenos, seeded and diced
  • 2 tbsp ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 16 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing wrappers)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (enough for 2-inch depth)
  • Extra buffalo sauce, for serving
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
  • Chopped green onions or extra jalapeno slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, buffalo sauce, diced jalapenos, ranch or blue cheese dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt & pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Lay out egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Keep a small bowl of beaten egg nearby for sealing. Place a baking sheet next to you for the rolled egg rolls. Cover wrappers with a damp towel to prevent drying.
  3. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the bottom third of each wrapper. Shape into a log. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly, brushing the final edge with beaten egg to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  4. Pour vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer to about 2 inches deep. Heat to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Working in batches, carefully lower 3-4 egg rolls into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, turning with tongs, until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a cooling rack or paper towels to drain.
  6. Arrange egg rolls on a platter. Drizzle with extra buffalo sauce, sprinkle with green onions or jalapeno slices, and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

For extra crispiness, chill the rolled egg rolls for 15 minutes before frying. You can prep the filling up to 2 days ahead. Air fryer option: spray rolls lightly with oil and air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway. Use gluten-free wrappers for a GF version. Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying.
