Ingredients Needed for Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls

To make these Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls, you’ll need a few simple ingredients that come together to create a truly irresistible appetizer.

For the Buffalo Chicken Dip:

• 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (about 2 large chicken breasts)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s RedHot is a classic!)
• 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing, if you prefer)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

For the Egg Rolls:

• 12 egg roll wrappers
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup water (for sealing the egg rolls)
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Optional Garnishes:

• Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
• Chopped green onions
• Shredded cheddar cheese

Preparing the Creamy Buffalo Chicken Dip

The key to these Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls is the flavorful buffalo chicken dip. Start by combining the cooked and shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing), shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl. Mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the dip has a smooth, creamy consistency. For best results, use a hand mixer to ensure a lump-free texture.

Taste the dip and adjust the seasonings as needed. If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a bit more buffalo wing sauce. For a milder taste, increase the amount of ranch or cream cheese. Once the dip is to your liking, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly, making it easier to work with when assembling the egg rolls.

Assembling the Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls

Now that you have your delicious buffalo chicken dip ready, it’s time to assemble the Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls. Start by laying an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one point facing you (like a diamond). Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the chilled buffalo chicken dip in the center of the wrapper.

Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it in tightly. Then, fold the left and right corners towards the center, creating an envelope shape. Brush the top corner of the wrapper with a little water to seal the egg roll. Finally, roll the egg roll tightly from the bottom to the top, pressing firmly to seal the edge. Repeat this process with the remaining egg roll wrappers and buffalo chicken dip.

Place the assembled egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking while you prepare them for frying.

Frying the Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls

To achieve the perfect crispy texture, you’ll want to fry the Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls in hot oil. Pour about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, and heat it over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature and ensure it remains consistent.

Carefully lower the egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the egg rolls for 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Serving the Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls

Serve these piping hot Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls with your choice of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing. Garnish them with chopped green onions and shredded cheddar cheese for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.

The combination of the creamy, spicy buffalo chicken dip and the crispy, golden-brown egg roll wrapper is simply irresistible. Your guests will be delighted by the unexpected flavors and textures in every bite. Enjoy these Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls as a crowd-pleasing appetizer or a fun, handheld snack that’s perfect for any occasion.

FAQ

How can I make Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls vegetarian?

To create a vegetarian version of Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls, you can substitute the shredded chicken with cooked and shredded plant-based protein, such as jackfruit, tofu, or tempeh. Make sure to season it adequately to mimic the flavors of buffalo chicken. You can also incorporate additional vegetables like finely chopped bell peppers or mushrooms to enhance the texture and flavor. Use the same buffalo wing sauce and creamy ingredients, adjusting to taste, to maintain the original dip’s essence while keeping it meat-free.

Can I bake Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls instead of frying them?

Yes, you can definitely bake Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls for a healthier alternative to frying. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the assembled egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush or spray them with vegetable oil to help them crisp up. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, and enjoy your baked version!

What’s the best way to ensure my egg rolls stay crispy after frying?

To keep your Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls crispy after frying, it’s essential to drain them properly. After frying, place the egg rolls on a wire rack instead of directly on paper towels; this allows air to circulate around them and prevents steam from making them soggy. Additionally, serve them immediately after frying for the best texture. If you need to keep them warm for a short period, placing them in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F or 93°C) can help maintain their crispiness.

How can I customize the heat level of my Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls?

To adjust the heat level in your Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls, you can modify the amount of buffalo wing sauce used in the dip. Start with a smaller amount and taste as you go, adding more until you reach your desired spiciness. For a milder version, consider using a mild buffalo sauce or mixing it with a bit of ranch dressing. Alternatively, you can add ingredients like diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for extra heat, allowing you to create a personalized flavor profile that suits your taste.
