Oh baby oh baby oh baby… these are oh so delicious and are calling your name! No joke. These Baked Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls need to be made ASAP. Not only are they accommodating ( which you know is key when you have a toddler) but they also have delicious mix of veggies inside so you get the best of all the worlds packed inside these wonton goodness!
“I feel like making egg rolls are hard”
Believe me… I have heard that before, but let me be the first person to tell you they aren’t and you are about to be obsessed with how easy they are. The Southwest Vegetable Egg Rolls are another one of my Egg Roll recipes on HGHF that are our absolute favorites. I use the Nasoya Egg Roll Wraps to make both recipes, which makes the filling quick and easy to wrap. Just make sure that you use EGG ROLL wraps instead of wonton wraps– how many times I have accidentally grabbed the opposite hahah, you need the big egg roll wraps for the rolls.
Now let’s move on to how to make these perfect, delicious dinner/ lunch prep or appetizer!
My FAVORITE Way To Make Chicken
I am not kidding you this is my all time favorite way to make chicken: Instant Pot. Hands down it makes the juiciest, perfectly cooked chicken. Follow this method and your buffalo chicken in guaranteed to come out perfect! While the chicken cooks, I make the ranch and you are almost all ready to wrap the egg rolls up!
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts bonless skinless
- 1/2 cup New Primal Mild Buffalo Sauce
- 2 tbsp New Primal Mild Buffalo Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp garlic ghee melted
- 1 tbsp tapioca flour ( for thickening )
Directions
- In medium bowl whisk together hot sauce, honey, melted butter & garlic
- Place chicken breasts into the Insta Pot & pour the sauce from above over the chicken breasts
- Pressure cook at 10 minutes & then quick release
- With two forks, shred the chicken & stir the chicken in the remaining sauce. Then turn on sauté and add two more tbsp of hot sauce & tapioca flour. Continue to stir to thicken
- Then take 2 forks and begin shredding the chicken on the cutting board then add back into the sauce. ( tip: throw your chicken breasts in your kitchen aid and turn on medium low to shred your chicken. WAY less mess and cuts down the time a lot!)
Homemade Ranch is Necessary in Baked Buffalo Chicken Wontons
Seriously… is there anything better than buffalo chicken and ranch? ( okay yes there might be… but this combo will always be a favorite!!)
Buying store bought ranch is alright, but I will say it is never close to restaurant/pub ranch. That is why I ALWAYS prefer making this recipe over buying store bought. Plus no added sugars, additives or preservatives— making this dressing a win win. Plus I always double it… because can you have too much ranch?

Questions for Perfecting these Baked Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
Do I need to use Nasoya Egg Roll Wrappers?
You don’t have to, but they are the only egg roll wrappers I have used. They are sold everywhere we shop– Target, Schnucks, Whole Foods, Dierbergs etc. If you try a different kind of egg roll wrapper please let me know. Just make sure it does say EGG ROLL on the front. Wonton wrappers will be too small 🙂
Can I make these without the veggies? Blue cheese? Green Onion?
You don’t have to use the veggies, however both these veggies work so well with spicy buffalo chicken. It balances out the combination! We tried all the different combinations, without green onion, without carrots etc. We all decided it was perfect all together!
However, for Ainsley she still is so unsure about chicken still, so I made hers with everything but the chicken. She devours them!
Would these work in the air fryer instead of the oven?
Absolutely! Now… I have not tried that yet 🙂 In my opinion I would do at 400 for 10 minutes and then check. We do at 400 in the oven for 20 minutes. I would keep an eye on them after 10 minutes. However, we will be trying them in air fryer shortly– so if you beat me to it, please let me know!
What is the best way to store these?
The best way to store these is in an air tight container already cooked for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Now if you don’t want to bake them yet, you can always roll them and freeze in an air tight container. Then day before take out of the fridge to defrost. Then pop them in the oven at 400 for 25-30 minutes depending on the oven.
How would I reheat these the next day?
You can microwave them in 30 second increments to heat them up the next day. However, I like to put them in my air fryer at 350 for about 5 minutes. Also I eat them cold at school because I am lazy to heat them up hahah so truly, anyway that works best for you!

Made these for a quick weeknight dinner, replacing cooking the chicken with rotisserie chicken. Turned out great, with great flavors. The honey added a tiny bit of sweetness but not too much! Also, made the ranch for the first time for dipping and it was excellent!
