Vegan Baked Buffalo Chick’n Egg Rolls

By 6 Comments

All of the tangy, zesty, spicy flavors of Buffalo wings – but neatly wrapped in egg rolls! These Vegan Baked Buffalo Chick’n Egg rolls are so crispy, you’d never know they weren’t fried!

Remarkably easy to make, try these once and you’ll be converted for life!

Super cheesy, extra crispy and insanely easy baked buffalo chick’n egg rolls

Ok, first of all … I was today years old when I found out that Buffalo Wings actually got their name from Buffalo, New York, not buffalo the animal. Apparently, the buffalo wing was reportedly invented in the early 60’s at a bar in Buffalo, New York. Traditionally, they were served hot alongside celery sticks, carrot sticks, and either blue cheese or ranch dressing.

While my egg rolls are definitely fusion food at its finest, they’re still reminiscent of Buffalo Wings – without all the messiness! We’re taking all the classic flavors of the beloved bar food, folding them neatly in egg roll wrappers and baking them to crispy perfection for the most delicious snack!
