It’s the season of Buffalo-flavored everything! 

We all know game day wouldn’t be game day without at least one buffalo dish! I’m wild about buffalo! Which is a surprise even to me…because I’m not a cheerleader for hot and spicy…unless we’re talking Tom Selleck! (That’s a whole other kind of hot and spicy!) 

So… Last year when planning our annual “football feast”…(I hear there’s a game that goes along with this celebration…a lot of head banging and such!) I wanted to create a buffalo appetizer a little different from the norm!

I decided to combine two of my favorite appetizers…sticky buffalo wings and egg rolls. Dunk these into a good blue cheese dressing, and who cares whose on the ten-yard line! There’s a touch-down at the House my friends!

How To Make Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls

This recipe begins with 4-5 frozen, thawed, breaded chicken tenders cut into cube bite size pieces.

Place cubed chicken in a medium size bowl. Add 1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro, 4 sliced green onions, including stems, and 1 stalk celery finely chopped, salt and pepper to taste.

In a large skillet over medium heat add 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil and 1 Tablespoon butter. Add chicken and vegetables. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until celery is tender. Place filling ingredients back into the small bowl. Set aside.

How To Make Sticky Buffalo Sauce 

In a separate sauce pan add 6 Tablespoons Franks hot sauce, 4 Tablespoons water, and 1 1/2 cups brown sugar. Stir to combine. Over medium-low heat bring sauce to a low boil, stirring occasionally, until brown sugar is dissolved. 

Turn heat off and allow to cool slightly. 

Add enough of the sticky wing sauce to the chicken filling to coat everything evenly. About 1/4 to 1/2 cup.

Add 1/3 cup blue cheese or feta cheese. Either will work and both are similar in flavor. It’s really up to your taste buds and what those little fellas are hankering for! I’ve used both and both are great in this recipe.

Stir cheese into filling until well combined.

Now for the fun part! Making the actual “egg rolls”!

TIP: You’ll need one package of egg roll wrappers! You can find them in the produce section of your grocery store.  

You’ll need 10 egg roll wrappers. Lay out one egg roll skin with a corner pointed toward you. Place about 2 – 3 heaping tablespoons of sticky buffalo chicken mixture in the center of the egg roll wrapper. 

Dip your finger in warm water and run along the inside edges of the egg roll wrapper. This will help the egg roll wrappers to stick together. It’s like edible glue.

TIP: Keep a small bowl of warm water next to the egg roll skins so that it’s handy when making the egg rolls. Think of it as finger painting for cooks!

Fold the corner closest to you inward over the filling, gently pulling it snug over all that yumminess.

Fold the left and right corners toward the center and continue to roll towards the opposite side to create the egg roll. Brush corners with a bit of extra water to help seal the egg roll.

Continue until all the egg rolls have been made. This recipe will make approximately 10 egg rolls.

In a large sauce pan add 2–3 inches of vegetable oil. Heat to 375°.  Place egg rolls into heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown. 

Carefully remove egg rolls from the oil, with tongs, and drain on paper towels or rack. 

Aren’t they beautiful! Don’t ya just want to reach through the screen and grab one! They are so yummy my friends…but WAIT! We’re not done yet! We’re gonna kick things up just a tiny bit more!

Place egg rolls on a serving platter and drizzle with some of the remaining sticky buffalo sauce and sprinkle with feta or blue cheese crumbles. Let the drooling begin! (We try not to say this too much at this nest considering our ages! If ya know what I mean!)

Place the rest of the sticky sauce in a small bowl for dipping, and in another small bowl place your favorite blue cheese dressing or ranch.

Again this is about personal preference. I LOVE the blue cheese with these egg rolls as it compliments the buffalo sauce so well! 

Sticky Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls are a great appetizer loaded with the warm heat and flavor of Franks buffalo sauce and the subtle sweetness of the brown sugar. Sticky Buffalo sauce really is the BEST!
