Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls (Printable version)

Crispy wrappers filled with spicy buffalo chicken dip and melted cheese

# What You’ll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
02 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
04 - 1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
05 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
06 - 2 green onions, finely chopped

→ Assembly

07 - 12 egg roll wrappers
08 - Water for sealing

→ Cooking

09 - Vegetable or canola oil for frying
10 - Cooking spray for baking or air frying

# Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix until creamy and evenly incorporated.
02 - Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling. Fold the side corners in, then roll tightly away from you. Moisten the top corner with water and seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
03 - Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry egg rolls in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
04 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Place egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
05 - Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Arrange egg rolls in a single layer, spray lightly with cooking spray, and air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until crisp.
06 - Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with extra buffalo sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Every bite delivers that perfect contrast of crispy wrapper and creamy, spicy filling that makes you reach for another.
  • They hold up beautifully on a buffet table and taste just as good after sitting out for a bit.
  • You can prep them ahead and freeze them, then fry or bake straight from the freezer when guests arrive.
02 -
  • Do not skip softening the cream cheese, or you will end up with stubborn lumps that refuse to blend no matter how hard you stir.
  • Seal the wrappers tightly with water, because even a small gap will let hot oil seep in and turn your filling into a greasy mess.
  • Keep the oil temperature steady at 350°F, if it drops too low the egg rolls absorb oil and get soggy instead of crisp.
03 -
  • Use a candy thermometer clipped to the side of your skillet to monitor oil temperature without guessing.
  • Press out any air pockets when rolling so the wrappers stay tight and do not puff up unevenly during cooking.
  • If baking, flip them gently with tongs instead of a spatula to avoid tearing the delicate wrappers.
