Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/4 cup celery finely diced
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 1 package egg roll wrappers about 20 wrappers
  • 1 egg beaten for sealing
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Deep fryer or large pot
  • Candy thermometer
  • Paper towels
  • Slotted spoon

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth and well blended.
  2. Add the shredded chicken, diced celery, blue cheese crumbles, and green onions to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of the wrapper.
  4. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the left and right corners. Brush the top corner with beaten egg and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to completely submerge the egg rolls.
  6. Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

For best results, ensure chicken is completely cooled before mixing with cream cheese. Assembled egg rolls can be frozen for up to 3 months - fry directly from frozen with 1-2 extra minutes cooking time. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for optimal crispiness.
