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 & Frying
- 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 sausage (if using), green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well until evenly incorporated, adjusting the hot sauce quantity based on your preferred spice level.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you, forming a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then tuck in the two side corners tightly. Roll the wrapper firmly towards the top corner and seal the edge with the beaten egg to secure the roll.
- Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat approximately 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy to ensure proper frying temperature.
- Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place the assembled egg rolls into the hot oil in batches, frying them for 3–4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve hot: Serve the Voodoo Egg Rolls immediately with your choice of dipping sauces such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or a tangy remoulade for a complementary flavor contrast.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the hot sauce or add cayenne pepper to the filling.
- Ensure the oil maintains 350°F for even, crispy frying and to prevent sogginess or burning.
- Do not overfill the egg rolls to avoid tearing the wrappers during rolling or frying.
- These egg rolls can be prepared in advance and fried just before serving for convenience.
- Leftover cooked egg rolls can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to retain crispness.
