Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls

These spicy egg rolls make an amazing appetizer that your friends and family will love!

My husband is crazy about Buffalo chicken anything. So instead of the traditional Buffalo chicken wings, I thought I would get creative and make a fun, new spicy chicken appetizer. I decided to combine all the flavors we love about a Buffalo chicken wings platter—the saucy chicken, blue cheese, and crunchy celery and carrot sticks—into deep-fried crunchy egg rolls. 

These egg rolls left my man absolutely speechless. They are amazing, and you can’t stop at just one. They are super addictive. Be sure to make plenty for your next party with friends or get-together with family. If you do have any leftovers, they will easily reheat in a 450° oven the next day. 

If you’ve never made egg rolls before, don’t worry! They are way easier than they seem. First, get your filling ready to go. Be sure to let it cool to room temperature so it’s easier to work with.

    • 1teaspoon olive oil
    • 6medium stalks celery, cut into thin 1-inch strips
    • 1cup grated carrots
    • 1/4teaspoon salt
    • 10green onions, finely chopped
    • 1/4cup Frank's™ RedHot™ Original cayenne pepper sauce
    • 2tablespoons butter, melted
    • 1/2cup crumbled blue cheese (2 oz)

    • 12egg roll skins (from 1-lb package)
    • 1egg, beaten
    • 1/2cup blue cheese or ranch dressing
    • Fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley, if desired

Directions

  • 1In 2-quart saucepan, heat broth and water to boiling; add chicken. Reduce heat to medium; cook 20 to 25 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Remove chicken to large bowl; set aside to cool. Discard poaching liquid.
  • 2In 10-inch skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat. Add celery, carrots and salt; cook and stir until vegetables are crisp-tender. Shred chicken with 2 forks. Add sautéed vegetables, onions, pepper sauce, butter and blue cheese; mix well.
  • 3In deep fryer or 4-quart Dutch oven, heat 3 to 4 inches oil to 350°F.
  • 4Meanwhile, sprinkle work surface with flour. Place 1 egg roll skin on work surface with 1 corner facing you. (Cover remaining skins with damp paper towel to prevent drying out.) Place about 2 rounded tablespoons chicken mixture slightly below center of egg roll skin. Fold corner of egg roll skin closest to filling over filling, tucking point under. Fold in and overlap right and left corners. Brush remaining corner with beaten egg; gently roll egg roll toward remaining corner and press to seal. (Cover filled egg roll with damp paper towel.) Repeat with remaining egg roll skins and chicken mixture.
  • 5Fry egg rolls, a few at a time, in hot oil 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Place egg rolls on parsley-lined serving platter. Serve with blue cheese dressing.
