Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 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
- 1 package egg roll wrappers (about 12 wrappers)
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)
Frying
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 inches in depth)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced sausage (if using), green onions, cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Adjust the amount of hot sauce depending on your preferred spice level to achieve the desired heat.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, forming a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll up the wrapper firmly toward the top corner, sealing the edge with the beaten egg to ensure it stays closed during frying.
- Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C), which is ideal for frying the egg rolls to a perfect crisp without absorbing excess oil.
- Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil in batches, to avoid overcrowding, and fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve hot: Serve your Voodoo Egg Rolls immediately while hot and crispy. They pair wonderfully with ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or a tangy remoulade sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can omit the andouille sausage for a milder version or to keep it simpler.
- Adjust the hot sauce quantity based on your preferred spice level—start with less and add more if desired.
- Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying to prevent greasy egg rolls.
- Use fresh egg roll wrappers to avoid cracking and tearing during assembly.
- These egg rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an air fryer or oven for a crispier finish.
