These Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls are much easier than you’d imagine! Plus serve them with some homemade Creamy Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce for a flavor explosion!
It’s Sunday and you know what that means… it’s time to share a delicious recipe with you all!
Today I am bringing these awesome Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls with Creamy Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce. Tangy, spicy and delicious!
This week’s theme is Budget Meals, and in our household, that’s a must on a daily basis.
With 5 hungry teenage mouths to feed, you can imagine what my grocery bill would look like if I didn’t do a little planning and budgeting.
They eat everything. There is always someone with the refrigerator door swung wide open, or someone mumbling about “nothing to eat” or “I’m hungry”. I don’t just create a budget for breakfast, lunch and dinners, I even include snacks and desserts. These Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls with Creamy Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce are a favorite around here for a quick and easy lunch or dinner when we’re in a hurry.
I try to keep egg roll wrappers on hand all the time, because they are inexpensive and now that they know how to use them. It’s easy to stuff them with anything, including leftovers, and they have a great snack or meal!
These Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls with Creamy Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce were actually born from leftovers. I had made up buffalo chicken for something else (a pizza) and we had tons leftover so we set it aside to make these. And they were a huge hit and have been made dozens more times since. And they are SO easy!
We just put some buffalo chicken in the center of an egg roll wrapper, topped with green onions and blue cheese crumbles and then rolled them up all snug.
Heated some oil (we either use coconut oil or peanut oil for frying, depending on what’s on hand, but you can use whatever you have or like).
Fry those babies up for about 5 minutes, flipping once and then drain them on some paper towels.
Serve with this fantastic Creamy Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce or even ranch dressing.
These are a little bit tangy, deliciously spicy and delightfully crunchy. Just perfect.

5 teenagers?!?! I don't know how you do it... I bet they LOVE this snack though. I certainly would. I'm a huge fan of egg rolls, and of buffalo chicken wings, so this would be heaven for me. Thanks for posting!!

Yes, please! I'm terrified of frying things, generally, but even I might have to brave the hot oil for this recipe--love that dipping sauce especially, Nicole!
