Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls Recipe
Description
Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls are a fusion snack featuring a filling of cooked shredded chicken, grated carrots, and crumbled bleu cheese, all seasoned with a blend of buffalo wing sauce and melted butter. The ingredients are mixed thoroughly to evenly distribute the tangy, spicy sauce throughout the filling. This mixture is then wrapped carefully in egg roll skins, which are sealed with a water-brush technique before frying.
Deep-frying in hot oil until the egg rolls turn a uniform golden brown ensures a crisp, crunchy shell that encases the flavorful filling. The cooking method locks in moisture from the chicken and cheese, keeping the interior creamy and soft, while the exterior provides satisfying crunch.
These egg rolls are commonly served with ranch or bleu cheese dressing on the side, complementing the spicy filling and adding cooling contrast. They work well as appetizers or snacks in a casual setting where finger foods are appreciated.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken cooked and shredded
- 1 cup carrot grated
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup bleu cheese crumbled
- 1/4-1/8 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 2 tbsp butter meleted
- cooking oil for deep frying
- 12 egg roll skins
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing or bleu cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Place shredded chicken in a bowl with salt, grated carrots and bleu cheese crumbles. Mix well.
- Combine butter and buffalo sauce together and pour over chicken, mixing until ingredients are well combined.
- In deep fryer or saucepan heat 2-3 inches oil on medium heat.
- Keep a small bowl of water nearby and grab an egg roll wrapper. With 1 corner facing you, place about 2 tablespoons of your chicken mixture slightly below center of the wrapper. Begin rolling skin up by folding corner closest to you, then fold in right and left corners as you reach that point. Brush remaining corner with water and gently roll toward remaining corner and press to seal. Repeat until no mixture is remaining.
- Fry egg rolls in hot oil until golden brown on each side. Drain on paper towels.
