Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 12 pieces Spring roll wrappers
• 0.25 cup Water
• 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Ranch dressing (for dipping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, barbecue sauce, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 2

Prepare a clean surface for rolling and place a small bowl of water nearby.

Step 3

Lay a spring roll wrapper on the surface in a diamond shape, with one corner pointing towards you.

Step 4

Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture near the bottom corner of the wrapper, leaving some space at the edges for sealing.

Step 5

Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling tightly. Then fold in the left and right corners to create an envelope shape. Roll the wrapper upward while keeping it tight.

Step 6

Dip your fingers in water and wet the top corner of the wrapper to seal it. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet over medium heat (about 350°F). Test the oil by dropping a small piece of wrapper into it—it should sizzle immediately.

Step 8

Fry the rolls in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 9

Remove the rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the barbecue chicken rolls hot with ranch dressing on the side for dipping, if desired.
