# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a large 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.
03 - Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly, using water to seal the top corner.
04 - Repeat the rolling process with remaining wrappers and filling until all portions are assembled.
05 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
06 - 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.
07 - Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They taste like buffalo wings but with way less mess on your hands and face.
  • You can prep them hours ahead and fry them right when guests arrive.
  • The creamy cheese inside balances the heat in a way that keeps you reaching for more.
  • They work as a snack, appetizer, or even a fun weeknight dinner if you make extra.
02 -
  • Do not overfill the wrappers or they will burst open in the oil, I learned this the hard way during my first batch.
  • Make sure your oil temperature stays steady, if it drops too low the egg rolls absorb oil and turn soggy instead of crispy.
  • Pat the filling dry with a paper towel if it looks too wet, excess moisture makes the wrappers soggy before they even hit the oil.
03 -
  • Keep a damp towel over your wrappers while you work, they dry out fast and become impossible to seal.
  • Use a spider strainer or slotted spoon to flip the egg rolls in the oil, tongs can puncture the wrapper if you grip too hard.
  • Let the oil come back up to temperature between batches, this keeps every egg roll perfectly crispy.
