Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust for spice preference)
- 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup green onions (chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
- Cooking oil (for frying, optional)
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for dipping)
- Extra buffalo sauce (for drizzling)
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Prepare the Filling
Combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions in a mixing bowl. Mix well until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface, oriented like a diamond. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of filling into the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then the side corners, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edge with a bit of beaten egg.
3. Cook the Egg Rolls
Frying Method
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Baking Method
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush or spray with oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
Servings & Preparation Time
Servings: 12 egg rolls
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 6 minutes (frying method) or 20 minutes (baking method)
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Store leftover Buffalo Chicken Wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, oven-toast them at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until heated through and crispy. Microwave reheating is not recommended as it can make the wraps soggy.
- For longer storage, freeze the cooked wraps on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag, allowing you to enjoy them for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen following the oven-toasting instructions.
