1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1 bundle green onions, thinly sliced
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Pinch of garlic powder or onion powder (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil (or neutral oil like canola, grape-seed) for frying
1 cup hot sauce
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash of cayenne

Instructions
1-Step 1: Prepare the Filling: First, grab a large bowl and mix together the 1 pound of shredded cooked chicken with 1/2 cup buffalo sauce. Don’t forget to add in the 1/4 cup ranch dressing, 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and the thinly sliced green onions from one bundle. Season it with a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder if you like, along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until everything is well combined it’s that simple!
This step is where the magic happens, as the flavors meld together to create that signature buffalo chicken taste. Once mixed, let the filling sit for a few minutes to let the spices soak in, making your rolls even tastier. You’ll love how quick this is!
2-Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls: Now, lay out your 16 ounces of egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly just like you’re wrapping a burrito!
Seal the edge with a bit of water to keep it closed during frying. For more details on folding, check out our guide in the FAQs section below. Aim for uniformity so they cook evenly and look great on the plate.
3-Step 3: Cook the Egg Rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to about 350°F. Carefully add the egg rolls a few at a time and fry until they’re golden brown, which takes about 3-4 minutes per side. If you prefer a healthier option, bake them in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Once done, let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. For an internal link, if you’re into other chicken recipes, check out our fried chicken guide for more crispy inspiration!
