Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup cooked andouille sausage or chorizo, diced (optional)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2–3 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Assembly and Frying Ingredients
- 1 package egg roll wrappers (about 12 wrappers)
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 inches deep)
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced andouille sausage or chorizo if you’re using it, green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Mix everything thoroughly to create a spicy, creamy filling. Adjust the hot sauce quantity depending on how much heat you prefer.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay a single egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you in a diamond shape. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the prepared filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the left and right sides tightly. Roll the wrapper upward firmly toward the top corner, sealing the edge with the beaten egg to ensure the roll stays intact during frying.
- Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or fryer until it reaches about 2 inches in depth. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C), which is ideal for achieving crispy, golden egg rolls.
- Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place the assembled egg rolls into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the egg rolls turn a vibrant golden brown and become crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and set them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot: Serve your Voodoo Egg Rolls immediately while they are warm and crispy. They pair wonderfully with ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or a tangy remoulade sauce, adding an extra layer of flavor to this already delicious snack.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful shortcut.
- Adjust hot sauce quantity to suit your spice preferences.
- If you don’t have andouille sausage or chorizo, you can omit it or substitute with another spicy sausage.
- Ensure the oil temperature stays consistent at 350°F for perfect crispiness.
- Drain egg rolls on paper towels to remove excess oil for a less greasy snack.
