Ingredients

Scale

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.
