# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Combine softened cream cheese and buffalo wing sauce in a large bowl, mixing until smooth. Add ranch or blue cheese dressing, shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and green onions, stirring to create a uniform mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Refrigerate filling for 30 minutes for easier handling.
02 -
Position an egg roll wrapper with a corner facing you. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of chilled filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner tightly over the filling, then fold in the left and right corners. Brush top corner with egg wash. Roll the wrapper tightly upward to seal. Repeat for remaining wrappers.
03 -
Pour 4 to 6 cups of vegetable or canola oil into a heavy-bottomed pot and heat to 350 to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, monitoring temperature with a deep-fry thermometer.
04 -
Carefully lower 3 to 4 assembled egg rolls into the hot oil. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp on all sides. Avoid crowding the pot to maintain optimal oil temperature.
05 -
Transfer fried egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow oil to return to frying temperature between batches. Continue until all egg rolls are fried.
06 -
Let egg rolls rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional green onions or blue cheese crumbles if desired. Serve warm with ranch, blue cheese, or buffalo sauce for dipping. For reheating, bake in an oven or air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 10 minutes until hot and crisp.

For best results, chill the filling prior to assembly to prevent leaking and ensure proper sealing during frying.
