Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (I prefer Frank’s RedHot for that authentic tang)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup finely chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying (about 2-3 inches deep)
- 1 beaten egg (for sealing the wrappers)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese (Maytag or similar)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, melted butter, shredded mozzarella, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper and mix well until evenly coated.
- In a small bowl, stir together sour cream, mayonnaise, crumbled blue cheese, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate.
- Place egg roll wrappers on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Have beaten egg ready in a small bowl for sealing.
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of buffalo chicken filling onto the lower third of each wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners snugly. Roll tightly toward the top corner, sealing the edge with beaten egg. Repeat for all wrappers.
- Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan or deep fryer to about 2-3 inches deep and heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls into hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove with tongs or slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all are cooked.
- Serve warm with the chilled blue cheese dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
If filling is too wet, add breadcrumbs or shredded cheese to bind. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to avoid greasy or burnt egg rolls. Fry in batches to keep oil temperature steady. For a healthier option, bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
