Voodoo Egg Rolls Recipe

Introduction

Voodoo Egg Rolls are a spicy, cheesy twist on a classic favorite, packed with shredded chicken, sausage, and bold Cajun flavors. These crispy, golden egg rolls make a perfect appetizer or snack that’s sure to impress your guests.

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

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced sausage if using, green onions, cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well and adjust hot sauce to your spice preference.
2. Step 2: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner.
3. Step 3: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides tightly, then roll the wrapper firmly toward the top corner, sealing the edge with beaten egg.
4. Step 4: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
5. Step 5: Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6. Step 6: Serve hot with your choice of ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or a tangy remoulade sauce.

Tips & Variations

• For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and sausage and add finely chopped mushrooms or black beans.
• Adjust the hot sauce and Cajun seasoning to control the heat level.
• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid greasy egg rolls.
• Try baking the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes for a healthier alternative, flipping halfway through.

Storage

Store leftover 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 about 5-7 minutes to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I prepare the filling in advance?

Yes, you can make the filling a day ahead and keep it refrigerated. This helps the flavors meld together and speeds up assembly.

What can I use instead of egg roll wrappers?

If you can’t find egg roll wrappers, large spring roll wrappers or even wonton wrappers work as alternatives, though the cooking time may vary slightly.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

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 and Frying

• 1 package egg roll wrappers (about 12 wrappers)
• Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 inches deep)
• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced sausage (if using), green onions, cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well and adjust the hot sauce amount to your preferred spice level.
2. Assemble the egg rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, forming a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly around the filling. Roll the wrapper firmly toward the top corner, sealing the edge with beaten egg to close.
3. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or fryer until it is about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it is hot enough for frying but not smoking.
4. Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place egg rolls into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
5. Serve hot: Serve the Voodoo Egg Rolls warm with your choice of ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or tangy remoulade sauce for dipping.

Notes

• For a spicier kick, increase the hot sauce or add cayenne pepper to the filling.
• You can substitute the cooked chicken with cooked shredded turkey or pork.
• Make sure the oil temperature remains at 350°F to ensure crispy and evenly cooked egg rolls.
• If you prefer healthier options, these can be baked, but frying provides the authentic crispy texture.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven for best texture.
