Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls (Printable)

Crispy wrappers filled with creamy, spicy buffalo chicken and melted cheddar. The ultimate party appetizer ready in under an hour.

# What You Need:

→ Filling

01 - 2 cups shredded cooked chicken, such as rotisserie
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

# How To Make It:

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 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 - Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with extra buffalo sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Every bite delivers that addictive combo of creamy, tangy filling and shatteringly crisp wrapper.
  • They cook up three different ways so you can fry, bake, or air fry depending on your mood and equipment.
  • You can make them ahead and freeze them, which means game day snacks are always within reach.
  • They taste like the best part of a buffalo chicken dip platter, but way more fun to eat.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese is cold, it will clump instead of blending smoothly, so leave it out on the counter for at least 30 minutes before you start.
  • Don't overfill the wrappers or they'll burst open during cooking; I learned this the hard way when filling oozed out into the oil and made a mess.
  • Seal the edges really well with water or they'll pop open in the heat and lose all that delicious filling.
03 -
  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor; the seasoning in the chicken makes the filling taste even better.
  • If you love extra cheese, tuck a small cube of pepper jack or mozzarella into the center of each egg roll before sealing for a gooey surprise.
  • Keep a damp towel over your stack of wrappers while you work so they don't dry out and crack on you.
