Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowls
• Skillet or deep fryer
• Tongs
• Baking sheet (optional, for baking)
• Paper towels
• Small bowl of water for sealing egg roll wrappers

Ingredients Overview

• Pulled Chicken: Provides the hearty base. Use leftover roasted or smoked chicken for convenience.
• Coleslaw Mix: Adds crunch and balance to the filling.
• Barbecue Sauce: Brings sweet and tangy flavor to the filling. Choose your favorite brand or homemade sauce.
• Egg Roll Wrappers: Essential for wrapping and crisping up the rolls.
• Oil for Frying: Use vegetable, canola, or peanut oil for deep frying.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

• In a large mixing bowl, combine:
  • 2 cups shredded pulled chicken
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• Mix until well coated and evenly combined.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls

• Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond).
• Place 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken filling near the center of the wrapper.
• Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, rolling tightly as you go. Seal the top corner with water.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls

• Heat about 2 inches of oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
• Fry the egg rolls in small batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
• Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.

Optional: For a healthier version, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, or air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes.

4. Serve

• Serve warm with ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t Overfill: Use just enough filling to ensure the egg rolls seal properly without bursting.
• Seal Well: Use a small amount of water or a beaten egg to seal the wrapper securely.
• Keep Wrappers Covered: Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.

What to Serve With This Recipe

• A side of fries or onion rings
• Dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or chipotle mayo
• Fresh salad or pickles for balance
