Voodoo Egg Rolls Recipe

Introduction

Voodoo Egg Rolls are a flavorful twist on a classic favorite, packed with spicy chicken, sausage, and cheese. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, they 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, adjusting hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
2. Step 2: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you like a diamond. 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 up firmly toward the top corner, sealing the edge with 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 egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5. Step 5: Serve hot with your choice of ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or a tangy remoulade sauce.

Tips & Variations

• For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and sausage and add sautéed mushrooms or black beans instead.
• If you prefer baking, brush the egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through.
• Adjust the hot sauce and Cajun seasoning levels to suit your taste for milder or spicier egg rolls.
• Use leftover cooked chicken or any cooked meat you have on hand to save time.

Storage

Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake them in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 10–12 minutes or until crispy again. Avoid microwaving to keep the wrappers crisp.

FAQs

Can I freeze Voodoo Egg Rolls?

Yes, you can freeze them before frying. Arrange the assembled egg rolls on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry directly from frozen, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.

What dipping sauces go well with these egg rolls?

Ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or a tangy remoulade sauce complement the spicy filling beautifully. You can also try a simple drizzle of hot sauce or a cooling yogurt-based dip.

Scale 1x2x3x

Filling 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

Wrapping and Frying

• 1 package egg roll wrappers (about 12 wrappers)
• Vegetable oil, for frying (enough for about 2 inches deep in skillet)
• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced andouille sausage (if using), finely chopped green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well, adjusting hot sauce to your preferred spice level to create a cohesive, flavorful filling.
2. Assemble the egg rolls: Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean flat surface with one corner pointing toward you, shaping it like a diamond. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then tightly fold in the left and right sides. Roll the wrapper firmly toward the top corner, sealing the edge using the beaten egg to ensure it stays closed during frying.
3. Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 2 inches and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Heating the oil to this temperature ensures the egg rolls become crispy and cook evenly without absorbing excess oil.
4. Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place the assembled egg rolls in the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for 3 to 4 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
5. Serve hot: Serve your Voodoo Egg Rolls warm with dipping sauces like ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or a tangy remoulade for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

• Feel free to omit the andouille sausage to make a milder version or to accommodate dietary preferences.
• If you prefer baking over frying, these egg rolls can be brushed with oil and baked at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.
• Be careful not to overfill the wrappers to prevent them from breaking during frying.
• Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for best frying results.
• Leftover egg rolls can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
