- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (such as rotisserie)
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (more or less to taste)
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Small bowl of water (for sealing)
- Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
- Cooking spray (if baking or air frying)
Instructions
- 1. Mix the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, and finely chopped green onions. Mix until the mixture is creamy and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- 2. Roll and Seal
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold the side corners in, then roll tightly away from you. Moisten the top corner with water to seal it shut. Repeat for all wrappers.
- 3. Choose Your Cooking Method
- To fry: Heat 2 inches of oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C) and fry in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden. To bake: Bake at 425°F (220°C) on a parchment-lined sheet for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway. To air fry: Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes, turning once.
- 4. Cool and Serve
- Let the egg rolls cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. Serve with extra dipping sauces as desired.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For the quickest preparation, use leftover or store-bought rotisserie chicken. Make sure to let the egg rolls rest for 5 minutes after cooking; this prevents the hot filling from burning you and helps it reach the perfect consistency.

Recipe Questions & Answers
- → Can I prepare these ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the egg rolls and freeze them before cooking. Place them on a tray to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- → What kind of chicken should I use?
Leftover cooked chicken or a store-bought rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this preparation, saving you significant time. Just shred it before mixing with the other ingredients.
- → How can I adjust the spiciness?
To make them milder, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce or use a mild wing sauce. For more heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the filling or use a spicier buffalo sauce.
- → Are there alternative cooking methods besides frying?
Absolutely! You can bake them in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, or air fry them at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes. Both methods result in a crispy finish.
- → What are some good dipping sauces?
These are traditionally served with extra buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing. For a lighter option, a Greek yogurt dip or a sour cream and chive dip also complements the flavors well.
- → Can I use different cheeses?
While cheddar is classic, you can certainly experiment. Pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese would add a lovely twist and extra flavor dimension to the filling.
- → What are the best occasions to serve these?
These are fantastic for casual gatherings, such as game day parties, potlucks, or as a fun appetizer for any get-together. They are always a hit with guests.
