Instructions
 

Make the filling

  • Thaw the egg roll wrappers in the fridge overnight.
  • Chop the shredded chicken into smaller pieces for easier rolling.
  • In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, warm melted butter, ranch seasoning mix, scallions, celery, and both cheeses. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Assemble

  • Place an egg roll wrapper with the pointy side facing you.
  • Add about 1.5 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture near the bottom corner. Roll the pointy side up twice.
  • Dab the left and right corners with water and fold them into the center.
  • Apply water to the upper side, roll up, and press to seal.
  • Transfer to a plate or sheet pan, folded side down and repeat with remaining wrappers.

Cook and serve

  • Heat oil in a deep skillet to 325-350 degrees F.
  • Deep fry the egg rolls in batches for about 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Remove and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  • Let cool slightly and serve with buffalo sauce and ranch dressing.

Notes

Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting. Ensure the filling is thick to prevent sogginess. Fry in batches at the appropriate oil temperature.
