Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to your preferred spice level)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup green onions, finely sliced

1 package (14 count) egg roll wrappers

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Optional: Blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Taste the filling and adjust the flavor by adding additional buffalo sauce if you prefer more heat.

    Assemble the Egg Rolls: Take an egg roll wrapper and place it on a clean work surface with one corner facing you (diamond shape). Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken filling into the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then bring the side corners in towards the middle. Roll the wrapper away from you to create a tight cylinder. To seal the egg roll, moisten the top corner with a few drops of water before pressing down.

      Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or deep fryer, pour in enough oil to reach a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until it registers 350°F (175°C) on a deep-fry thermometer. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop in a small piece of egg roll wrapper; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready for frying.

        Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully add a few egg rolls to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for approximately 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy all around. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

          Serve: Let the egg rolls cool for a minute before serving. Arrange them on a platter and serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as blue cheese or ranch dressing, to enhance the delicious flavors.
