Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls

Featured in Small Bites.

These Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls combine classic buffalo wing flavors with crispy egg roll wrappers. The filling mixes tender rotisserie chicken with cream cheese, two kinds of cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning for the perfect balance of creamy, spicy, and tangy. The versatile recipe offers three cooking methods - air fryer for quick and crispy results, traditional deep frying for extra crunch, or oven baking for a lighter option. What makes these special is how they transform familiar buffalo chicken dip ingredients into a portable, crispy appetizer that's perfect for parties or game day snacking.
