# Method:
01 - Combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until creamy and completely incorporated, approximately 2 minutes. Set aside until ready to assemble.
02 - Position an egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold both side corners inward. Roll tightly away from you, moisten the final corner with water, and press firmly to seal. Repeat process for all 12 wrappers.
03 - Pour 2 inches of vegetable oil into a deep skillet or Dutch oven. Heat to 350°F. Fry egg rolls in batches of 4-5 for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
04 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange egg rolls in single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time, until evenly golden and crisp.
05 - Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Place egg rolls in single layer without overcrowding. Lightly mist with cooking spray. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, turning once halfway through, until exterior is golden and crunchy.
06 - Allow cooked egg rolls to rest for 5 minutes before serving to prevent burning. Accompany with additional buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Celery and carrot sticks make classic pairings.
