Why This Recipe Works
The secret lies in perfectly seasoned chicken that’s simmered with bouillon for maximum flavor, then combined with tangy buffalo sauce and rich fontina cheese. The cheese melts beautifully during frying, creating a creamy contrast to the spicy chicken. Spring roll wrappers provide the ideal crispy exterior that holds up to the saucy filling without becoming soggy.
What Makes Buffalo Spring Rolls Special
Unlike traditional spring rolls filled with vegetables, these feature the beloved American flavor combination of buffalo chicken. The contrast between the crispy Asian-style wrapper and the classic Buffalo, New York flavors creates a unique fusion that appeals to both comfort food lovers and adventurous eaters. They’re versatile enough to serve as appetizers, party snacks, or even a light main course.

Buffalo chicken spring rolls can be served with a variety of dipping sauces to complement their spicy flavor. Some popular options include:
- Ranch dressing: A cool and creamy dressing that can help balance the heat of the buffalo sauce.
- Blue cheese dressing: A tangy and pungent dressing that is a traditional pairing for buffalo chicken dishes.
- Celery sticks: Thin slices of celery can be served as a side dish to provide a crisp, refreshing contrast to the spicy spring rolls.
- Carrot sticks: Similar to celery, they provide a sweet and crunchy contrast to the spicy spring rolls.
- Cooling dips: yogurt-based dips, Tzatziki or Raita, can help cool down the buffalo sauce’s heat.
- Extra hot sauce: Some people may like to add extra hot sauce to their spring rolls for an even spicier kick
- A side salad: a green salad on the side can provide a nice light contrast to the heavy and fried spring rolls.
- A slaw: a creamy coleslaw can also be a nice side dish; the creaminess of the coleslaw can also help to balance the heat of the buffalo sauce
These are just a few options, but there are many other possibilities. The key is to find something that will complement the flavors of the spring rolls and balance out the heat of the buffalo sauce.
Storage & Reheating Instructions
