Ingredients
  

Egg Roll Filling
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 0.5 cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup celery finely diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
For Frying
  • 4-6 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup ranch dressing for serving

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Deep fryer or heavy pot
  • Candy thermometer
  • Slotted spoon

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, ensuring all chicken is well coated with the sauce.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese to the buffalo chicken mixture and mix thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
  3. Fold in the mozzarella cheese, chopped green onions, diced celery, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, creating a diamond shape.
  5. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper, being careful not to overfill.
  6. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners and roll tightly toward the top corner.
  7. Brush the top corner with water and press to seal the egg roll securely.
  8. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer.
  9. Carefully add 3-4 egg rolls to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
  10. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  11. Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels for 2-3 minutes.
  12. Serve immediately with ranch dressing and enjoy while hot and crispy.

Notes

Can be made ahead and frozen for up to 3 months. Fry directly from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes to cooking time. For extra flavor, add blue cheese crumbles to the filling.
