Mini Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

This recipe yields 14 servings.

• pound cooked chicken breast
• cup diced celery
• 2 ounces blue cheese
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
• Salt to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Cayenne pepper to taste
• 14 wonton wrappers (or more, as needed)
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• Oil for frying

Directions

Follow these steps for a perfect batch of crispy, spicy Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls:

Step 1: Dice the cooked chicken into small cubes and transfer to a mixing bowl.

Step 2: Add the diced celery, blue cheese, cream cheese, and Louisiana-style hot sauce to the bowl. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.

Step 3: Mix everything together with a spoon until the filling is evenly combined.

Step 4: In a separate small bowl, beat the egg with water to create an egg wash.

Step 5: Brush the egg wash along the edges of one wonton wrapper.

Step 6: Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling near one edge of the wrapper. Spread it out with your fingers, leaving a -inch border along the sides.

Step 7: Roll the wrapper up over the filling. Crimp both edges of the wrapper to seal it, then roll it over one more time to secure the filling inside. Fold in about -inch of dough on both sides to seal the ends, then apply more egg wash on top to help seal the roll further.

Step 8: Place the finished egg roll on a plastic-lined baking pan and repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.

Step 9: Fill a skillet with enough oil to reach halfway up the egg rolls. Heat the oil to 350F (175C) over medium heat.

Step 10: Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 11: Transfer the fried egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining egg rolls.
