Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Buffalo Chicken Filling
In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch (or blue cheese), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix until smooth and creamy.
Fold in shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape.
Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of buffalo chicken filling into the center.
Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides.
Roll tightly toward the top corner, sealing the edge with a little water.
Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Step 3: Frying Method (Classic & Crispiest)
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add egg rolls in batches, seam-side down.
Fry for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 3 (Alternative): Air Fryer Method
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray egg rolls with cooking spray.
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.
