What are the best dip for buffalo chicken egg rolls?

The best dip for buffalo chicken egg rolls is a matter of personal preference, but some popular options include:

• Ranch dressing: Ranch dressing for dipping is a classic dipping sauce for buffalo chicken, and it goes well with crispy fried egg rolls.
• Blue cheese dressing: Blue cheese dressing is another popular choice for buffalo chicken, and it adds a bit of tanginess to the dish. Don't forget to add extra blue cheese crumbles!
• Sour cream: Sour cream is a good option for those who want a milder dipping sauce. It helps to cool down the heat of the buffalo sauce and adds a bit of creaminess.
• Blue cheese dressing with ranch dressing: This is a great option for those who want the best of both worlds. The blue cheese dressing adds a bit of tanginess, while the ranch dressing adds creaminess.
• Spicy Buffalo sauce: If you want to add even more heat to your buffalo chicken egg rolls, you can dip them in buffalo sauce.
