Ingredients for the Irresistible Buffalo Chicken Dip

The key to these delectable egg rolls is the homemade buffalo chicken dip that takes them to the next level. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 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

Assembling the Crispy Egg Rolls

Now that you’ve got the delicious buffalo chicken dip ready, it’s time to wrap it up in crispy egg roll wrappers. Here’s what you’ll need 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

Preparing the Buffalo Chicken Dip

Start by combining all the dip ingredients in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon, mix the cooked and shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch (or blue cheese) dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is well blended and creamy.

Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as needed. For a spicier kick, add a bit more buffalo wing sauce. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can increase the amount of ranch dressing or cream cheese.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the buffalo chicken dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.

Assembling the Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls

Now, it’s time to wrap the chilled buffalo chicken dip in crispy egg roll wrappers. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one point facing you (like a diamond).

Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken dip onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tucking it tightly. Then, fold in 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 secure the edge.

Repeat this process with the remaining egg roll wrappers and buffalo chicken dip, placing the assembled egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Frying the Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, pour about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature.

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 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 the hot, crispy Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls with your choice of ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for dipping. For an extra touch of flavor and presentation, you can garnish them with chopped green onions and shredded cheddar cheese.

FAQs About Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls

How can I make Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls gluten-free?

To make Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls gluten-free, you can use gluten-free egg roll wrappers, which are available at many grocery stores or can be made at home using gluten-free flour. Additionally, ensure that the ingredients used in the buffalo chicken dip, such as the chicken, wing sauce, and dressings, are labeled gluten-free. This way, you can enjoy the crispy, spicy goodness without the gluten.

Can I prepare Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls in advance?

Yes, you can prepare Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls in advance. After assembling the egg rolls, you can cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate them for up to a day before frying. Alternatively, you can freeze the un-fried egg rolls. Just make sure to place a piece of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. When ready to cook, fry them directly from the freezer; just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

What is the best way to reheat leftover Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls?

The best way to reheat leftover Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls is by placing them in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. This method helps restore their crispiness. You can also reheat them in an air fryer at 350°F for around 5-7 minutes. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the egg rolls soggy.

Can I customize the spice level of the Buffalo Chicken Dip?

Absolutely! You can customize the spice level of the Buffalo Chicken Dip by adjusting the amount of buffalo wing sauce used. Start with a smaller amount and gradually add more until you reach your desired heat. For a milder version, consider using a combination of buffalo sauce and ranch dressing or adding cream cheese to mellow the heat. Alternatively, you can mix in other ingredients like diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
