These crispy oven-baked buffalo chicken egg rolls deliver a spicy kick and crunchy texture without the mess of frying, making them a perfect quick snack for game day or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing wrappers)
  • Cooking spray or olive oil (for brushing egg rolls before baking)
  • Optional: crumbled blue cheese, chopped celery

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until creamy and evenly coated.
  3. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean flat surface in a diamond shape with one corner pointing toward you. Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp towel.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper, leaving about a 1-inch border on the sides.
  5. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the sides in snugly, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edge with beaten egg.
  6. Place the egg rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  7. Lightly brush or spray each egg roll with cooking spray or olive oil.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning.
  9. Check for golden brown and crispy texture; bake an additional 2–3 minutes if needed, watching closely to avoid burning.
  10. Let cool for a couple of minutes and serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

If the filling is too wet, add more shredded cheese or a pinch of breadcrumbs to bind. Do not overfill wrappers to prevent bursting. For gluten-free, use rice paper wrappers and adjust baking time. Brushing with oil is key for crispiness. Turn egg rolls halfway through baking for even browning. Egg rolls can be frozen before baking; add 5 minutes to baking time when baking from frozen.
