All these recipes are perfect for game-time snacking.

Let’s talk about game time snacking

One of my all-time favorite dips for watching the big game, movie night, girls night or any time I get a craving for something delicious is buffalo chicken dip. There is just something about the heat of the Frank’s and the tang of the blue cheese that dance together so well with the chicken in my mouth. I tell myself I am going to eat it with carrot sticks or celery but who am I kidding?

Buffalo Chicken Dip Eggroll Ingredients:

How to make filling for egg rolls.

How to roll a buffalo chicken dip egg roll.

2. Fold the top corner over the filling and remove as much air as possible.
3. Fold in the left and the right corners, removing as much air as possible.

Can you freeze buffalo chicken dip egg rolls?

You can definitely freeze buffalo chicken dip egg rolls. I roll them and place them separated on a cookie sheet, freeze and then place in a freezer-safe bag or van and seal them.

Alternatively, they can be frozen after frying. Don’t fry them as dark as you would for immediate enjoyment and allow them to cool completely before freezing as directed above.

How to deep fry the egg rolls

1. In a heavy bottom or cast iron skillet heat canola or other fry oil.
2. The oil is hot enough when bubbles form around the end of a wooden or bamboo spoon when placed in the bottom of the pan.
3. Fry on each side for 1 minute or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Remove from the frying oil and drain on paper towels.

How do you reheat Chicken dip egg rolls?

My preferred way to reheat chicken dip egg rolls in my air fryer. Pre heat to 425 and then heat for 3-5 minutes until heated through.

They can also be flash-fried in hot oil or baked for 10 minutes at 425.
