Ingredients
Scale
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 2 cups (475 ml / 16 oz) cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup (120 ml / 4 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 ml / 4 oz) buffalo sauce
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Extra buffalo sauce for drizzling
- Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Mixture Preparation: Blend shredded chicken with buffalo sauce in a mixing bowl, creating a vibrant and moist filling that captures bold, spicy flavors.
- Cheese Integration: Fold in softened cream cheese and sharp cheddar, transforming the mixture into a creamy, tangy blend while ensuring structural integrity.
- Flavor Enhancement: Sprinkle green onions and season with garlic powder and black pepper, developing a complex and harmonious taste profile.
- Wrapper Technique: Position egg roll wrapper diamond-shaped, carefully distributing the seasoned chicken mixture slightly below the center with precision.
- Rolling Method: Fold bottom corner tightly over filling, envelope the sides, and roll upward, creating a compact package that seals completely with a touch of water.
- Cooking Preparation: Continue wrapping remaining filling, maintaining consistent size and seal to ensure uniform cooking and presentation.
Notes
- Prevent Wrapper Tearing: Handle egg roll wrappers gently and keep them covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying and cracking during preparation.
- Control Spice Level: Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to customize heat intensity, accommodating different spice tolerances without compromising flavor balance.
- Ensure Proper Sealing: Apply water sparingly along wrapper edges to create a tight seal, preventing oil penetration and maintaining crispy exterior during frying.
- Temperature Management: Maintain consistent oil temperature around 350-375°F for even cooking, golden-brown exterior, and preventing soggy or greasy egg rolls.
