→ For Assembly

10 - 12 egg roll wrappers
11 - Water for sealing

→ For Frying

12 - 4 cups vegetable oil for deep frying

# How To Make:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, mozzarella cheese, blue cheese, shredded carrots, chopped celery, sliced green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
02 - Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken filling mixture in the center of the wrapper.
03 - Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in both side corners. Roll up tightly toward the top corner, applying a small amount of water to seal the final edge.
04 - Repeat the rolling and sealing process with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling mixture.
05 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
06 - Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, carefully place egg rolls into the hot oil. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs and drain on paper towels.
07 - Arrange warm egg rolls on a serving platter and serve immediately with ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like your favorite buffalo wings but in a crispy, handheld wrapper you can dip without getting your fingers messy.
  • The filling comes together in one bowl, and you can prep them hours ahead and fry right before guests arrive.
02 -
  • Don't overfill the wrappers or they'll burst open in the oil, I learned this the hard way and lost two egg rolls to a bubbling mess.
  • Make sure your oil stays at 350°F, if it drops too low the egg rolls absorb grease and get soggy instead of crispy.
03 -
  • Use a candy thermometer clipped to the side of your pot so you can monitor oil temperature without guessing.
  • If you want extra heat, toss a pinch of cayenne into the filling or drizzle more buffalo sauce over the top before serving.
