The Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
- 1 pound Rotisserie Chicken (shredded)
- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 cup Green Onions (minced)
- 1 cup Pepper Jack Cheese (shredded)
- 4 oz Velveeta Cheese
- 1 package Egg Roll Wrappers
- 1 Egg (for egg wash)
- Neutral Frying Oil
The Equipment Needed
Make Your Buffalo Chicken Egg Roll Filling
In a bowl, combine your shredded rotisserie chicken, Frank’s RedHot Sauce, butter, green onions and both cheeses (pepper jack & Velveeta).
Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
Filling & Wrapping Your Egg Rolls
Take a sheet of egg roll peel and position it in a diamond shape in front of you.
Apply a dab of egg wash to all sides of the wrapper, to help seal the egg roll.
Then add in a large spoonful of your egg roll filling, cross-wise, towards the middle-bottom of your egg roll wrapper.
Start at the bottom corner and roll the egg roll wrapper over your filling until you have rolled your egg roll half way up. Then fold in each corner and then continue to roll up to the end.
Repeat until you have about 8-10 rolls – and then place them on a parchment paper or butcher paper lined tray.
Deep-Fry Your Egg Rolls
Prepare a stock pot of neutral oil, heated to 350°F.
Drop in 2-3 egg rolls into your hot oil – keeping in mind not to over crowd the pot.
Deep fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown (flip once during the fry), then remove from the oil and let sit on a cooling wire rack for about 5 minutes.
