Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (using rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver)

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (you can adjust the amount according to your preferred spice level)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese for a rich flavor

1/4 cup fresh green onions, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

10 egg roll wrappers (available in most grocery stores)

Vegetable oil for frying (enough to fill the pan about 1-2 inches deep)

Optional: Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together thoroughly until the ingredients create a smooth, creamy filling that is well blended.

    Assemble the Egg Rolls: Take one egg roll wrapper and place it on a clean, flat surface with one corner facing you (this positions it like a diamond). Spoon approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then tuck in the sides, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Use a small amount of water to seal the edge securely. Repeat this process for the remaining wrappers and filling, ensuring each egg roll is well sealed.

      Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, pour in enough vegetable oil to achieve a depth of 1-2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of about 350°F (175°C). To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of bread into the oil. It should sizzle and turn golden brown within about a minute.

        Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully add a few egg rolls to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan to maintain the oil's temperature. Fry each egg roll for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach a golden brown color and become crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil, letting them drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Continue frying the remaining egg rolls.

          Serve: Serve the crispy egg rolls hot out of the fryer, optionally paired with ranch or blue cheese dressing for a creamy dip.
