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
  • 23 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.
