These egg rolls were delicious and perfect for our holiday get together. If you’re a fan of buffalo chicken wings and egg rolls, this recipe WILL NOT disappoint. They are simple to make with little ingredients which makes a great go-to recipe, especially for entertaining and parties.

Preparing the Chicken

These egg rolls are more simple to make than you think. Shredded Chicken is used in this recipe and for our best tips and tricks for shredding chicken GO HERE.

Once your chicken is shredded, you will combine it with grated carrots, salt and bleu cheese crumbles. Pour your buffalo wing sauce and butter in with the chicken and mix well. NOTE: You can find mild buffalo wing sauce at the store and can use this instead of adding butter. The amount of butter you add will vary based on how spicy you want your sauce.

Tips, Variations + Storing Info

Air Fryer: Making these in the air fryer is an easy switch! Preheat it to 400 degrees and cook the egg rolls for 9 minutes before flipping and cooking for another 5 minutes.

Baked: To bake these in the oven,  line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. Coat the rolls with cooking spray and bake at 425 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until browned and crispy.

Oil  Temperature: The oil temperature should reach 350°F for frying. If you don’t have a thermometer, then put the back of a wooden spoon in the oil. If the oil immediately begins to bubble around the spoon then the oil is hot enough. If it bubbles too ferociously, then it’s too hot. 

Variations:

• Add shredded cabbage to the filling
• Use less butter to get a hotter buffalo sauce

Dipping sauces:

• Chipotle ranch
• Homemade ranch dressing

STORE in a Ziploc bag or air-tight container and put in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Believe it or not, we love eating these cold but you can reheat in the microwave or even lightly brush with olive oil or vegetable spray and bake in the oven for a few minutes.

FREEZE

• Baked: Let them cool completely, wrap the individual egg rolls in plastic wrap, place them in a freezer safe bag or container and keep them in the freezer for 3-6 months. Reheat in the oven or in the microwave, without thawing first, until they’re warmed through.
• Unbaked: Flash freeze them until they’re solid, for about an hour, before wrapping them individually in plastic wrap. Place in a freezer safe bag for 3-6 months. Fry on medium-low heat until cooked through (avoid frying on high heat, because the inside might still be cold while the outside is golden brown).

To make ahead: Make the filling up to 2 days ahead of time. Assemble them the day before and keep them, covered, in the fridge until you fry them.

Give these bad a boys a try and let us know what you think. You really can’t go wrong with having 2 delicious appetizers in one!
