Voodoo Egg Rolls Recipe

Introduction

Voodoo Egg Rolls are a flavorful twist on a classic favorite, packed with spicy chicken, creamy cheese, and bold Cajun seasoning. Crispy on the outside and loaded with a zesty filling, these egg rolls make a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 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
• 1 package egg roll wrappers (about 12 wrappers)
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced sausage (if using), green onions, cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Mix thoroughly and adjust hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
2. Step 2: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond). 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.
3. Step 3: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
4. Step 4: Carefully fry the egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5. Step 5: Serve your Voodoo Egg Rolls hot with ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or a tangy remoulade sauce.

Tips & Variations

• Use rotisserie chicken for quick prep and extra flavor.
• Substitute hot sauce with your favorite brand or use a milder sauce for less heat.
• Try adding finely chopped bell peppers or jalapeños for extra crunch and spice.
• For a healthier version, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes instead of frying.

Storage

Store leftover cooked egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it may make the wrappers soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make the filling ahead of time?

Yes, the filling can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Assemble and fry the egg rolls just before serving for the best texture.

Can I freeze these egg rolls?

Absolutely. Freeze assembled, uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry or bake them straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

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

1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced andouille sausage or chorizo if using, chopped green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Mix thoroughly and adjust hot sauce quantity to your preferred level of spice.
2. Assemble the egg rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, forming a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll the wrapper firmly upward toward the top corner and seal the edge by brushing with beaten egg to secure.
3. Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, pour vegetable oil to about 2 inches depth and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain consistent temperature for perfect frying.
4. Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place egg rolls into the hot oil in batches, frying for 3 to 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.
5. Serve hot: Serve your Voodoo Egg Rolls immediately while hot and crispy, paired with ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or a tangy remoulade sauce as a delicious accompaniment.

Notes

• For a spicier kick, increase the amount of hot sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
• If preferred, you can omit the sausage to make the egg rolls lighter or suitable for those who avoid pork.
• Ensure the oil temperature is maintained properly; too low will make egg rolls greasy, too high will burn the wrappers.
• Egg roll wrappers can be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores or Asian markets.
• Leftover egg rolls can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to regain crispiness.
