In my opinion, buffalo chicken anything is a good idea. The Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls are one of those random recipes that came about thanks to the COVID-19 “Stay at home” orders. I had some egg roll wrappers in my freezer, leftover roast chicken, cabbage, and…. buffalo sauce, duh! So one day for lunch I combined all of the ingredients to make these simple, yet super fun, egg rolls.

  1. Did you end up using the air fyer? I want to try mine in the air fryer but don’t know what temperature or time.

  2. 5 stars
    These are delicious!! Crowd pleaser! I used am mild buffalo sauce, since I didn’t want them to spicy. Also, added a bit more oil before baking to make sure they crisped up. Reheated leftovers the next day and were just as good!

  3. First of all, thanks for this recipe. Im now addicted. Do you know if you could freeze these and how long they would keep for in the freezer by any chance?

  4. Do you have a recommendation for prepping these day before? Completing the whole recipe and then freezing and then popping in the oven day of?

  5. 5 stars
    I love this recipe and have made it several times now! Fast, easy, and tastes like an app you would get at a restaurant. Tastes fine to sub ingredients a bit. I’ve added bell pepper and extra carrots before. Egg rolls usually freeze okay, so I’m trying it out for tonight’s double batch!

  6. These tasted great but mine did not get golden and crispy like that. I even cooked them for 4 extra minutes and the filling was bubbling. Should I have put them under the broiler?

    1. When something is giving me a hard time crisping up, I always opt to use the broiler for a minute or 2 at the end. Not sure why yours didn’t want to crisp up, but yet try the broiler next time!

  7. Do you use spring roll wraps? Or help me out…..what is a brand you like?
    Thank for in advance,
