Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
If you love Buffalo wing flavor, you’re going to go crazy for these baked Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls! I’m so excited to share these. My husband took one bite and said “ohh, people are going to love these,” and even my one year old liked them! As a Buffalo girl, I’m always looking for new ways to serve one of my favorite flavors, and these Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls deliver. The heat from the wing sauce is cooled a bit by the Greek yogurt and blue cheese dressing (yes, you can substitute light ranch if you’re not a blue cheese fan) to give these a nice kick. I also used packaged coleslaw mix along with the chicken to give these that perfect egg roll filling texture. Coleslaw mix is basically just shredded cabbage and carrots, so while you could shred those yourself, using the pre-packaged mix is so much easier!
These Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls are so tasty you’re probably going to want to eat them all the time. Luckily, they work just as well as a main course for lunch or dinner as they do an appetizer or finger food at a party or get-together. Plus, at just 117 calories or 2 WW Points each, these egg rolls easily fit into your daily meal plan. To view your current WW Points for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site, click here!

Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Buffalo wing sauce, I used Frank’s Red Hot Wings sauce
- 3 cups dry shredded coleslaw mix, undressed, sold packaged in the produce section
- 1/3 cup light blue cheese dressing, I used Marzetti
- 1/3 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 16 egg roll wrappers
Instructions
- Bring the oil to med-high heat in a large skillet or saute pan. Add the chicken breasts to the hot oil in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side. Flip them over, and then continue to cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side. Add the Buffalo sauce to the pan and wait until it bubbles (should happen almost immediately). Lower the heat to simmer and cover the pan. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts) until the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Remove the cooked breasts to a cutting board and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pan with the sauce and stir to coat. Cook for another 3-5 minutes uncovered until the sauce thickens and mostly absorbs into the chicken. Transfer the chicken and sauce to a mixing bowl and add the coleslaw mix, blue cheese dressing and Greek yogurt. Stir to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and mist with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Pour some water into a small dish and set aside. On a clean, flat surface, place an egg roll wrapper, corner facing toward you (like a diamond) and put ¼ cup of the chicken mixture on the center of the wrapper. Spread the mixture in a horizontal line from the left corner to the right corner of the wonton wrapper, leaving ½ inch or so of space on each side. Fold the bottom corner closest to you up over the ingredients and give it a 90 degree roll. Fold the side corners in and tuck them as you give the filled section another 90 degree roll. Dip your finger in the dish or reserved water and lightly wet the edges of the remaining top corner of the wrapper. Finish rolling the filled egg roll over the wet corner so that it adheres. Place wrapped egg roll onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- When all the egg rolls are put together and on the baking sheet(s), mist the tops of them with cooking spray. Bake for 7 minutes, flip each of the egg rolls over, and bake for an additional 7-8 minutes until the wrappers are golden.

Can you freeze them?
Sure!
What size eggrolls did you use
What are egg roll wrappers. I am I. Australia
They are what you wrap egg rolls in! In my area they are sold packaged in the produce section in my grocery stores, but I can’t be sure where you’d get them in Australia. If they don’t have them at your grocery store, maybe try an Asian market if you have those?
Have you tried these in an air fryer? Looks great!
Nope, but I’m sure it would probably work great!
Would it ruin the taste to use Ranch instead of Blue Cheese?
Well, I don’t personally like ranch, so in my opinion yes, lol.
Otherwise, you can definitely use ranch instead, I’m sure it will taste just fine 🙂
Have you tried these with the greek yogurt and blue cheese as a dipping sauce rather than mixed in?
Do you think I can make these ahead of time (earlier in the day) and then bake them that night? Thanks!
What size egg roll wrappers they have small and larger ones
Gloria was going to ask the same thing
Can I use sour cream instead of yogurt
How are these warmed up since they have the Cole slaw in them ?
We made these tonight and they are amazing! Subbed ranch for the blue cheese as we aren’t fans of blue cheese and it was so good 🙂
Recipe sounds delicious !! People who are asking about two different size wrappers one smaller than the other perhaps one is wonton (smaller size) and egg roll wrapper ( larger one) hope that helps
Can you do this like an open face won ton instead of wrapped?
Do you think you could do bbq chicken instead of the buffalo chicken?
My boyfriend and I love these! I use the airfryer at 385 for 16 mins, flipping half way. I also find they come out better if you mix the coleslaw with the dressing and yogurt before adding the chicken mixture rather then mixing everything at once.
Wow. This is so yunmy! My family doesn’t like spicy so this is perfect for me. I only ended up with 14 egg rolls. I think my filling deflated a bit as I had to keep taking breaks in this recipe to play with my kiddo. But wow. Delicious. Thank you! I baked them last night to a light golden and I reheated them today in a dry skillet. Perfect!
