Ingredients

20 ounces canned chicken (drained and shredded (if not already)

8 ounces cream cheese (softened)

1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup ranch dressing (plus more for serving (optional)

12 egg roll wrappers

4 cups vegetable oil (or enough to fill skillet 1 inch deep)

Directions

In a microwave-safe bowl, add chicken, cream cheese, and buffalo wing sauce. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until ingredients are melted and mixed well.

Add shredded cheese and ranch dressing to bowl, then stir until combined.

To assemble egg rolls, prepare your work area by having egg roll wrappers ready and a small bowl of water nearby. Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, orienting them to you so they look like a diamond. Add about 3 tablespoons of buffalo chicken mixture to the center. Fold the left and right points of the wrapper in until they touch but do not overlap. Tightly fold the bottom corner up, then roll the egg roll forward over the remaining top corner. Seal the top corner in place by wetting your finger, saturating the space beneath the corner point, then pressing the corner point firmly in place. Repeat this step until all wrappers and filling have been used.

When ready to fry, add 1 inch of oil to a large skillet and heat to 350°F (using a candy thermometer helps!) Line a large plate with a paper towel, then set nearby.

Working in batches, drop egg rolls into hot oil and fry until each side is golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer cooked egg rolls to the prepared paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat this step until all egg rolls are fried.

Serve immediately with a dipping sauce of choice.
