Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- 1 ½ cups Simple Shredded Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken
Wrapping & Frying
- 1 pack of 12 mozzarella string cheese sticks
- 1 pack of 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 large egg white
- Oil, for frying (about 1 inch deep, vegetable or canola oil recommended)
For Serving
- Buffalo sauce, ranch, and/or blue cheese, to dip
- Green onion, to garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the buffalo chicken: Begin with your slow-cooked shredded buffalo chicken, ensuring any excess buffalo sauce is drained to avoid soggy wrappers.
- Heat the oil: Pour about 1 inch of oil into a high-walled, heavy-bottomed pan and heat over medium-high until it reaches 350°F. You can test readiness by inserting a wooden spoon handle into the oil; bubbles should form around it.
- Prepare egg wash and wrappers: In a small bowl, whisk the egg white with a tablespoon of water. Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a flat surface and cover with a damp towel to prevent drying while assembling.
- Assemble the logs: Place one egg roll wrapper in a diamond orientation. Spoon 2 tablespoons of buffalo chicken down the center, allowing excess sauce to drip off. Lay one mozzarella string cheese stick on top of the chicken.
- Fold the wrapper: Fold the top corner down over the filling, then the bottom corner up. Brush the right side of the wrapper with the egg wash.
- Roll and seal: Fold the left side over the filling, tucking the corner slightly under like a burrito. Roll so the egg wash side sticks and seals the log. Ensure there are no tears; if needed, patch and seal with egg wash. Set aside.
- Repeat assembly: Continue assembling all 12 logs using the same method.
- Fry the logs: Once oil is at temperature, carefully place 3 logs seam-side down into the oil. Fry until golden and crisp, turning to brown evenly on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Drain and serve: Remove fried logs and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm garnished with chopped green onion and your choice of buffalo sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dip.
Notes
- Be sure to drain excess buffalo sauce from the chicken to keep wrappers crispy and avoid sogginess.
- Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for even frying and perfect crispness.
- Work quickly assembling the logs to prevent the wrappers from drying out by keeping them covered with a damp towel.
- Use a pastry brush or clean fingers to seal edges properly to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
- For a milder flavor, opt for ranch or blue cheese dips instead of extra buffalo sauce.
- The recipe yields 12 logs, perfect for parties or game day snacking.
