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

Step 1: In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced sausage (if using), green onions, cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Adjust the amount of hot sauce depending on your preferred spice level.
Step 2: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, like a diamond. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll up the wrapper firmly toward the top corner, sealing the edge with beaten egg.
Step 3: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Step 4: Carefully fry egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 5: Serve your Voodoo Egg Rolls hot with ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or a tangy remoulade sauce for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, allow the wrappers to dry for a few minutes before frying.
Freeze any uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet before transferring to a bag for easier storage and future frying.
Swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack to add more heat and flavor.
Use turkey sausage as a leaner alternative to andouille or chorizo.

Storage

Store leftover cooked egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to maintain crispiness. Uncooked egg rolls can be frozen for up to 1 month; fry them directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.

How to Serve

The image shows a close-up of crispy, golden brown rolls cut into sections, each filled with melted cheese and bits of egg inside, layered tightly. The rolls are drizzled with a smooth, orange sauce in neat lines across the top and sprinkled with chopped green onions. The dish is placed on a dark surface with a blurred white cup and some sliced red items in the background. Small bits of seasoning and herbs add texture to the glossy surface of the rolls.

FAQs

Can I bake these egg rolls instead of frying?

Yes, you can bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, but frying will give you the crispiest texture.

Is there a vegetarian version of Voodoo Egg Rolls?

Absolutely! You can replace the chicken and sausage with cooked, seasoned vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, and black beans for a delicious vegetarian alternative.
