Instructions
Buffalo Sauce
- Add hot sauce, butter, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to a small saucepan on low to medium heat
- Stir occasionally until the butter has melted and the sugar is dissolved
- Whisk in the flour (add more or less depending on how thick you want the sauce)
- Remove from heat to cool a little
Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
- Lay out the wonton wrappers on a large surface or cutting board
- Mix the shredded chicken with 1/4-1/2 cup buffalo sauce (I used 1/2 cup because I enjoy spicy food) in a small bowl
- Add 2-3 Tbsp of the chicken mixture to the bottom corner of the wonton wrapper
- Add desired amount of celery, onions, and crumbled blue cheese on top
- Use your finger to apply water around all corners of the wonton wrapper
- To roll, start by pulling up the bottom corner where the filling is and rolling towards the center. Grab the left and right corners and fold those in towards the center as well. Keep rolling and dab a little more water on the last corner before sealing shut. (See my video above!)
