Equipment

Ingredients
  

Egg Roll Filling

  • 1 pound egg roll/spring roll wrappers thawed
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast rotisserie chicken
  • ¾ cup buffalo sauce plus more to taste
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • ¼ cup warm melted butter
  • 1 ½ tablespoons dry ranch seasoning mix plus more to taste
  • 4 scallions chopped, both green and white parts
  • ⅓ cup celery small-diced
  • ¾ cup freshly shredded pepper jack cheese
  • ¾ cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Vegetable or canola oil for frying
  • Water for sealing the wrappers
  • Ranch dressing for serving
  • buffalo sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Make the filling

  • Thaw the egg roll wrappers in the fridge overnight.
  • Rough chop the shredded chicken into smaller pieces.
  • Combine chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, melted butter, ranch seasoning, scallions, celery, and both cheeses in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Assemble

  • Place an egg roll wrapper with the pointy side facing you. Add about 1.5 tablespoons of filling and roll the pointy side up twice to secure.
  • Dab water on the left and right corners, fold them into the center, and press to adhere.
  • Apply water on the upper side and roll up tightly. Place on a plate, folded side down.
  • Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling, making about 20 to 22 egg rolls.

Cook and serve

  • Heat oil in a deep skillet until it reaches 325-350 degrees F.
  • Deep fry egg rolls in batches for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.
  • Serve warm with buffalo sauce and ranch dressing.

Notes

Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting. Ensure the filling is thick and creamy to prevent sogginess. Can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Uncooked egg rolls can be frozen and cooked directly from frozen.
