# Ingredient List:
→ Chicken Filling
01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
03 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
05 - 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
06 - 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ Egg Rolls
09 - 12 egg roll wrappers
10 - 1 large egg, beaten
11 - Vegetable oil, for frying (about 4 cups to fill 2 inches in pot)
# How to Prepare:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, add shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, mozzarella cheese, blue cheese (if using), chopped celery, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
02 - Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
03 - Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in both sides, and roll up tightly. Brush the top corner with beaten egg and press gently to seal.
04 - Repeat the filling and rolling process with remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
05 - Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pot or deep-fryer and heat to 350°F (175°F).
06 - Fry egg rolls in batches for 3 to 4 minutes each, turning as needed until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
07 - Arrange fried egg rolls on a serving platter and serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
