Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Shredded Chicken
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Dill
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 cup Blue Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese
  • 12 pieces Egg Roll Wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons Chives
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, green onions, parsley, dill, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until everything is evenly blended and creamy.
  2. Fill Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place 3 tablespoons of the filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water or egg wash to help seal it.
  3. Roll & Seal: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly away from you. Make sure to seal the edges well with the egg wash.
  4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the rolled egg rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  5. Prepare the Dip: In a separate bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, chives, and lime juice. Stir until smooth and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Notes

  • Serve with extra buffalo sauce drizzled on top for an extra kick!
  • Keep egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel while assembling to prevent them from drying out.
  • Avoid tearing wrappers by using only 3 tablespoons of filling per roll.
  • For added crunch, brush the egg rolls with oil before and during baking.
  • Air-fry at 375°F for about 12 minutes for a crispy texture.
  • Allow leftover buffalo chicken egg rolls to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
  • Store cooked egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze uncooked egg rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet for 2-3 hours, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat frozen egg rolls from frozen at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute shredded chicken with black beans and sautéed bell peppers.
  • Add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the filling for an extra kick of heat.
  • Mix in mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for a gooey, stretchy surprise.
  • Incorporate a few spoonfuls of sweet chili sauce into the filling for a delightful flavor contrast.
  • Experiment with different fresh herbs such as basil or cilantro to brighten the filling’s flavor.
  • For a gluten-free option, try using rice paper wrappers instead of traditional egg roll wrappers.
  • Mesh in some barbecue sauce alongside the buffalo sauce for a smokier flavor.
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts or crushed pretzels into the filling for an unexpected crunch.
  • Prepare the filling up to 24 hours in advance by combining the shredded chicken, cheeses, buffalo sauce, and spices.
  • Assemble the egg rolls a day ahead; keep them covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
  • Pair with Tangy Cilantro-Lime Rice, Crunchy Coleslaw, or a green salad.
  • Serve with extra spicy buffalo sauce on the side for dipping.
  • Enjoy with a cold lager or light cider.
  • Serve with Sweet Potato Fries to balance the savory and spicy notes.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If wrappers tear, it’s often due to overfilling. Use 3 tablespoons of filling per roll. Patch tears with a little water and press gently.
  • Adjust for dietary needs by substituting cheese with dairy-free options or using Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese and sour cream.
  • Brush egg rolls with olive oil before baking for a crispy texture.
