Making Baked Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls

Creating your own Baked Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls is a fun and interactive process that brings the whole family together. The steps are straightforward and rewarding, allowing you to be creative while you cook. Let’s dive right into making these delicious bites!

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. This high temperature ensures your egg rolls will be crispy and golden. While the oven heats, lightly grease two baking sheets to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, chopped chives, dried parsley, dried dill, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of kosher salt. Mix this all together until well combined. The flavors should meld beautifully. You might want to sneak a taste to check if it needs more spice!
3. Now, it’s time to assemble the egg rolls. Take a square egg roll wrapper and spoon about two tablespoons of the filling onto the center. Be careful not to overfill. Brush water around the edges of the wrapper; this helps seal the rolls.
4. Fold the wrapper over the filling, tucking it in like a burrito, and press the edges to seal tightly. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal if you like. Place each roll seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Once all the rolls are assembled, brush each one lightly with olive oil. This will give them that golden, crispy texture we all love. It’s like giving them a spa treatment before they hit the oven!
6. Transfer the baking sheets to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, then flip them over to ensure even crispness. Bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until they’re beautifully browned and crisp. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!
7. While the egg rolls are baking, it’s the perfect time to whip up the ranch dip. In a glass jar, combine all ranch ingredients and shake or stir until creamy. This dip complements the spicy egg rolls perfectly.
8. Once done, take the egg rolls out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them with fresh cilantro, additional buffalo sauce, and your homemade ranch for dipping. You might want to prepare extra, because they’ll disappear fast!

Customization Ideas

One of the best features of Baked Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls is their versatility. You can easily customize them based on your taste preferences. Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

• Add Vegetables: Consider adding finely chopped bell peppers, carrots, or even broccoli to the filling for extra crunch and nutrition.
• Spicy Twist: If you love heat, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the filling.
• Cheese Options: Swap the cheddar or blue cheese for other varieties, like pepper jack or mozzarella, for different flavor profiles.
• Make it Vegetarian: Substitute the chicken with a mix of black beans, corn, and spices for a delicious vegetarian version.
• Different Dips: Instead of ranch, try serving with a spicy sriracha mayo or a cilantro lime dressing for a fresh kick.
• Freezing for Later: You can freeze uncooked egg rolls; just layer them between parchment paper to prevent sticking. Bake straight from frozen when you’re ready!
• Experiment with Wrappers: Use different wrappers like spring roll or wonton wrappers to change the texture and flavor.
