I would not last in a Chinese restaurant as the "egg roll" person.......

...............but this recipe was totally worth the hassle!!





















Once again, I would not make a good egg roll person.  By the end I was getting better but they did not look pretty at all.  Good thing they tasted AMAZING!  So if you love buffalo chicken and want to take the time to wrestle with egg roll wrappers, you MUST try this recipe for Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls......SO YUMMY!!!  By far one of our favorites and will make an appearance on our menu again soon!  I am on a mission now, to roll the perfect egg roll, haha!  Enjoy!

Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
Ingredients 

For the egg rolls:
  • 12 egg roll wrappers (roughly 4 square inches)
  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken (After I cooked the chicken, I used my Tupperware Quick Chef Pro System (food processor) to shred, it worked perfectly!  Click here to order yours today!)
  • ½ - 2/3 cup hot sauce
  • 4 oz cheddar, shredded or crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix (without the dressing)
  • Small bowl of water
  • Cooking spray 
For serving:
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken with ½ cup of hot sauce, adding up to a total of 2/3 cup if the chicken seems to soak up the sauce really quickly – it probably will.
  3. Lay an egg roll wrapper out on a clean work surface with one corner facing you and spread about 1 tablespoon cabbage or coleslaw horizontally across the wrapper. Top with 2 tablespoons (or a small cookie scoop) of chicken then 1 tablespoon of cheese.
  4. To roll the egg roll, pull the corner closest to you up towards the center of the filling and wrap it under the filling. Fold in the right and left corners, sealing the two with a dab of water. Roll the egg roll away from you, while gently snuggling the egg roll into itself to keep it from falling apart. Be careful not to tug too hard anywhere – the wrapper can tear easily. Seal the final corner onto the egg roll with another dab of water and place the egg roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with 11 remaining wrappers. You’ll probably end up with quite a few wrappers left over – they can be tucked inside a zip-top bag and frozen on a flat surface. Thaw in the fridge before using again.
  5. Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray and bake for 12 to 17 minutes, flipping over halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Serve with blue or ranch cheese dressing.

  1. YUM! That recipe looks especially delicious. I think I could even finagle Kevin into eating the cabbage :) You will have to post a lesson on rolling the prefect egg roll .... I have problems rolling up a burrito, so I could use it :)
