What You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to make your Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls come out perfectly every time:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (choose your favorite heat level)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying (about 4 cups for deep frying or less for shallow frying)
- Optional garnish: chopped green onions or celery sticks

For the best results, use freshly shredded chicken that’s moist but not wet. Rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor. If you want to skip deep frying, a light coating of oil and baking works, though you’ll lose some crispy richness.
This recipe is forgiving if you swap cream cheese for Greek yogurt or sour cream for a tangier twist. Just keep the creaminess level so the filling sticks inside the wrappers.
A quick prep tip: soften your cream cheese ahead so mixing the filling is smooth and easy. Keep egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel so they don’t dry out while you work.
My family prefers extra sharp cheddar for punchier cheese flavor. Little touches like this make mealtime special.

How to Make It
Making Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls might sound fancy, but it’s straightforward and a favorite for bringing flavor-packed fun to the table. Here’s how I do it step-by-step:
- Prepare the Filling
Mix softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing until smooth. Add shredded chicken and cheeses, stirring gently so filling keeps texture from chicken and cheese. - Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay one egg roll wrapper flat in diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of buffalo chicken dip in center. Fold bottom corner over filling, fold sides in, roll tightly and seal top corner with water to prevent bursting while frying. - Fry or Bake
Heat vegetable oil in skillet to 350°F. Fry 3-4 egg rolls for 2-3 minutes each side until golden and crispy, with hot, melty filling inside. - Drain and Serve
Use slotted spoon to place cooked egg rolls on paper towels to drain excess oil. Rustic look is fine — crispy texture counts. - Leftover Tips
Prep egg rolls ahead and freeze un-fried on baking sheet. Fry or bake from frozen adding a minute or two to cook time.
It typically takes about 30 minutes total from mixing to frying. While cooking, prep celery sticks or a simple side salad to round out the meal.
If wrappers tear while filling, use a bit of water to keep edges moist and sticky, avoiding spills.

Serving Ideas
Our family reaches for seconds every time I bring out these egg rolls. The crispy outer layer and spicy, cheesy chicken dip inside is addictive.

Serve alongside crisp celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dip for cooling contrast. I love pairing with a light salad or soups like Chicken Alfredo Soup or Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup to balance spiciness.
These egg rolls are perfect for game day, casual dinners, or any gathering. They make easy-to-hold, shareable party snacks.
To make them look extra special, sprinkle with fresh green onions or drizzle ranch dressing before serving for a nice pop of color and texture.
Leftovers freeze well and reheat in oven at 375°F for 10 minutes to retain crispiness.
For a milder twist, swap buffalo sauce for BBQ sauce or add diced jalapenos inside for extra heat.
