# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
03 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
05 - 1 cup finely shredded carrots

→ For Frying

12 - 4 cups vegetable oil for deep frying

# Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, mozzarella, blue cheese, carrots, celery, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
02 - Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly, using a little water to seal the top corner. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
04 - Fry egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
05 - Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They taste like buffalo wings but without the mess on your fingers.
  • The crispy shell stays crunchy even after sitting out for a few minutes.
  • You can prep them in the morning and fry them right before guests arrive.
  • Even people who claim they dont like spicy food always grab seconds.
02 -
  • Dont overfill the wrappers or theyll split open in the oil and make a mess.
  • Keep the oil temperature steady, if it drops too low the egg rolls will absorb grease and turn soggy.
  • Seal the edges tightly with water or theyll unravel while frying.
  • Let the oil come back up to temperature between batches or the next round wont crisp up properly.
03 -
  • Use a thermometer to keep the oil at exactly 350 degrees F for the crispiest results.
  • If youre making a big batch, keep finished egg rolls warm in a 200 degree F oven while you fry the rest.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne to the filling if you want more heat without adding more sauce.
  • Press out as much air as possible when rolling to prevent them from puffing up and splitting.
