What Makes This Recipe So Good
Buffalo chicken egg rolls are a super crunchy, super easy, super fun way to put a spin on game day staple buffalo wings. They’re baked, not deep fried, making them a lighter option than a lot of other snacks while still satisfying that need for crispiness.Your turn to host the big game watch party? You can totally double or even triple this egg roll recipe to feed a group with no problem. To make it even easier, pick up a whole rotisserie chicken and shred it using your favorite method rather than cooking all the chicken yourself. You can also make up a huge batch of buffalo chicken egg rolls and keep them in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to bake them. Prep the egg rolls as written, and stop just before you’re supposed to bake them. Transfer the egg rolls to an airtight container (or wrap each one in plastic wrap, then place them in a food-safe sealable plastic bag) and pop them in the fridge or freezer. They can be refrigerated up to 24 hours, or frozen up to 3 months. When you’re ready to bake them, let them come to room temperature first, then proceed with the recipe as written.
Chef’s Tips
If you have trouble getting the egg roll wrappers to stay sealed, there’s a super easy fix. Just dip your finger in a little water and then lightly moisten the corners or edges of the wrappers. Don’t overdo it – you don’t want soggy egg rolls. Just a little moisture will help the dough stick to itself, which will keep the filling nice and secure.We’ve baked our buffalo chicken egg rolls for a crispy, crunchy wrapper without the oil and mess of deep frying. You’re welcome to deep fry or pan fry your egg rolls instead, or you can air fry them at 375°F for 10 minutes, flipping the egg rolls over once approximately halfway through.Serve your egg rolls with ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing and a little more buffalo sauce. If you want to get really fancy, mix up a quick dip of softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and buffalo sauce. I love the way the cool and creamy dip balances out the crisp egg roll wrapper and the spicy buffalo sauce.
