Ingredients You’ll Need

Main Ingredients

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (about 2 large chicken breasts), use rotisserie chicken for convenience!
8 ounces cream cheese, softened (I love brands like Philadelphia for a creamy texture)
½ cup buffalo wing sauce (adjust based on your spice tolerance; Frank's RedHot is a classic choice)
½ cup ranch dressing (feel free to use homemade for an extra kick!)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar adds a lovely flavor)
¼ cup chopped green onions (these give a nice crunch and freshness)
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (fresh minced garlic works too if you’re feeling fancy)
¼ teaspoon onion powder (adds another layer of flavor)
12 egg roll wrappers (check the package for size; you want the standard size)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for sealing, but you’ll need more for frying)
¼ cup water (for sealing the egg rolls; it helps them stick!)
Vegetable oil, for frying (canola or peanut oil works well too)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Mix everything together until well combined and creamy. Don’t worry if it looks a little thick; that’s just the goodness waiting to be wrapped!
Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Feel free to add a bit more buffalo sauce if you want extra kick!

Assemble the Egg Rolls

Set up your workspace with the egg roll wrappers, filling, and a small bowl of water.
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you, like a diamond shape.
Add about 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling to the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger into the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. This helps seal everything in!
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly from the bottom up to seal it all in. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect—just make sure it’s snug!
Repeat the process until all the filling is used up. You should have about 12 delicious egg rolls ready to fry!

Fry the Egg Rolls

In a deep pan or skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover about half of the egg rolls when frying.
Once the oil is hot (you can test it by dropping in a small piece of the wrapper—if it bubbles, you’re good to go!), carefully place a few egg rolls in the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the egg rolls for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as they can go from golden to burnt in a flash!
Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg rolls and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Continue frying the remaining egg rolls, adding more oil if needed. Trust me, you’re going to want to make a big batch of these!

Variations

For a spicy twist, add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the filling.
Try using shredded buffalo cauliflower for a vegetarian version!
Make a lighter version by using Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese.
Experiment with different cheeses, like pepper jack for a kick!
For a baked option, brush the egg rolls with olive oil and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serving

Serve your Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls hot and crispy, paired with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. They’re perfect as an appetizer or a fun snack for parties! Garnish with extra chopped green onions or shredded cheddar for a pop of color and flavor.

Storage

Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them before frying. They can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, fry them straight from the freezer or bake at 400°F until heated through.

Helpful Notes

For a dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and ranch dressing.
Feel free to swap out chicken for turkey or even leftover beef!
Add in some chopped bell peppers or celery for extra crunch.
Use gluten-free egg roll wrappers to make this dish gluten-free.
For a low-carb option, try using lettuce wraps instead of egg rolls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls?

Absolutely! You can freeze the assembled egg rolls before frying. Just lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. They can last up to 3 months in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy, fry them straight from the freezer or bake them at 400°F until heated through.

What can I use instead of ranch dressing?

If you’re not a fan of ranch, you can easily substitute with blue cheese dressing for a classic pairing with buffalo flavors. Alternatively, try a homemade yogurt-based dressing or even a zesty vinaigrette for a different flavor profile!

How do I make these egg rolls healthier?

To lighten things up, you could use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese and opt for a low-fat ranch dressing. Additionally, you can bake the egg rolls instead of frying them—just brush them with a little olive oil and bake at 400°F until they’re golden and crispy.
