Voodoo Egg Rolls are a spicy, flavorful twist on traditional egg rolls, filled with shredded chicken, cream cheese, spicy sausage, cheddar cheese, and a kick of hot sauce and Cajun seasoning. Crispy and golden fried to perfection, these egg rolls make an irresistible appetizer or snack that’s perfect for game day or any casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 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

Assembly

  • 1 package egg roll wrappers (about 12 wrappers)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)

Frying

  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 inches deep)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced sausage if using, green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Taste and adjust the hot sauce if you prefer it spicier or milder.
  2. Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner facing you, forming a diamond shape. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the side corners snugly to encase the filling. Roll the wrapper firmly toward the top corner and seal the edge by brushing it with the beaten egg to ensure it stays closed during frying.
  3. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or fryer to about 2 inches in depth. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s hot enough for frying but not smoking.
  4. Fry the egg rolls: Carefully add the egg rolls in batches to the hot oil, frying for 3 to 4 minutes or until they turn a crispy, golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls and set them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. Serve hot: Serve your crispy Voodoo Egg Rolls immediately with your choice of dipping sauces such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or a tangy remoulade for a flavorful finishing touch.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken and sausage with cooked vegetables or plant-based protein.
  • Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature to avoid greasy or soggy egg rolls.
  • If you prefer baking over frying, you can brush the assembled egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (204°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
  • Leftover egg rolls can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
