Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls (Print)

Crispy wrappers filled with spicy buffalo chicken, cheddar cheese, and green onions for the ultimate party appetizer.

# 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 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 one corner pointing toward you. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the side corners in and 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, and bake for 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 - Allow egg rolls to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with additional buffalo sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Every bite delivers that addictive combo of creamy, spicy, and crunchy all at once.
  • They disappear faster than any appetizer Ive ever made, and people always ask for the recipe.
  • You can fry, bake, or air fry them depending on your mood and your kitchen setup.
  • Theyre perfect for using up rotisserie chicken and turning it into something that feels indulgent.
02 -
  • Keep your egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel while you work or theyll dry out and crack when you try to roll them.
  • Dont skip the water seal on the final corner, without it theyll pop open in the oil and make a mess.
  • If youre frying, use a thermometer to check the oil temperature because too cool and theyll soak up grease, too hot and theyll burn before the filling heats through.
03 -
  • Use pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese instead of cheddar if you want a little extra kick or a creamier melt.
  • If youre sensitive to spice, swap in mild wing sauce or cut the buffalo sauce with a bit more ranch to tone it down.
  • Double the batch and freeze half, youll thank yourself later when you need a crowd pleaser in a hurry.
