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 and 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 the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced andouille sausage or chorizo if using, finely chopped green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean flat surface with one corner pointing towards you, forming 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 both side corners tightly to enclose the filling. Roll the wrapper firmly up towards the top corner and seal the edge with the beaten egg to prevent it from opening during frying.
- Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or fryer to about 2 inches depth and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature for even frying.
- Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place the assembled egg rolls into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3 to 4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove them using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve hot: Serve the Voodoo Egg Rolls immediately while warm, paired with dipping sauces like ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or a tangy remoulade sauce for a delicious accompaniment.
Notes
- You can substitute andouille sausage with chorizo or omit it for a milder flavor.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your spice preference.
- Make sure the oil temperature stays consistent for crispy, evenly cooked egg rolls.
- Use beaten egg as glue to seal the wrappers securely to avoid filling leakage during frying.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
