Crispy Chicken Egg Rolls with homemade sweet and sour sauce. You won’t need takeout anymore when you have this amazing recipe!

Egg Rolls

One of my favorite things in life is to entertain friends and family at my home. I love to cook (obviously) and cooking for people I love makes me extra happy. There’s nothing like having good friends over, great conversation and eating delicious homemade food!

We had our close friends over a few weeks ago, so I made us some Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken with Fried Rice. It was a hit, as always. I decided we needed some egg rolls to go with it, so I came up with this recipe for Chicken Egg Rolls.

Egg Rolls with Chicken

Chicken Egg Rolls are filled with seasoned ground chicken, fresh minced garlic and ginger, cabbage and carrots. They are divine! I deep-fried ours like traditional egg rolls, but I am sure you could bake these in the oven and they would be delicious, too. Serve with some sweet and sour sauce and you will be a happy camper!

Chicken Egg Rolls

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 2 minutes
Servings 14
Calories 228kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced
  • 14 egg roll wrappers
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoons water
  • 3 cups vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a large, deep skillet add the vegetable oil. Heat oil over medium-low heat until it reaches 375 degrees F.
  • In a separate large skillet, over medium-high heat, add ground chicken, fresh garlic and ginger. Crumble and brown chicken until thoroughly cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
    Add the shredded cabbage, carrots and sliced green onion to the chicken and stir to combine. Continue to stir-fry for 5 minutes or until mixture is heated. Turn off heat and remove skillet from burner.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the flour and water to create a paste. (This paste will help seal the egg rolls before frying)
  • Take one egg roll wrapper and lay it on a flat, clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you. Place 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of the wrapper. Take the bottom corner and fold up over the filling. Fold the two side corners over the center and continue to roll up. Brush a little of the flour paste on the top corner to help seal the egg roll. Repeat process until all egg rolls are wrapped.
  • Carefully place 2 to 3 egg rolls at a time into the hot oil. Fry rolls for 2 minutes, using tongs to turn them, so they evenly cook on all sides. They are done when they are golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate. Serve with sweet and sour sauce.

  1. Is there anything better than egg rolls? These look delicious, and I love that when you make them at home, you get to know exactly what’s going in. Yum!

  2. What a great tutorial —and the sweet and sour sauce ! I am over 60 and have been trying to perfect this sauce, and you nailed it!! I usually use beef but will try this with chicken. This kinda looks like my basic recipe, but I add a bag of froz mixed veggies (the basic) and some fresh bean sprouts. Whatever you have leftover -not in wrappers, just serve over rice. Yum…

  3. Do you think I could make these ahead of time and freeze them? Then cook them in oil from frozen state or would it be better to thaw before frying in oil? Thanks

    1. Robyn, I would imagine these would freeze well and would be fine to fry in the frozen state. But I have never tried it. Please Let me know if you do try it out! Thanks 🙂

  4. Made today with some fried rice,,would not change anything about the recipe, tasted great…Good Job & Thanks for a Great Egg Roll….

  5. Do the egg wraps have to be super cold before you use them?? I was told that the wrap that you rolled them in have to be super cold or they will tear, is this true???? Thanks

    1. Mine were cold, straight out of the fridge, but that’s about it. I had no problems with tearing. These egg rolls are awesome, I hope you try them! 🙂

  6. Just made these!!! Delicious!!!!!!! Thanks!

    Shredded chicken breasts and onions after cooking in my kitchenaid mixer (if you don’t have one you can use a hand mixer and bowl too).
    Didn’t have ground chicken.
    And accidently purchased wonton wrappers instead of egg rolls so we have little wontons. Still delicious! Thanks!

  7. This was absolutely delicious and the sweet and sour sauce was so good. I made it two nights in a row and could definitely go for a third night.

    1. You could bake them for sure. It’s been a long time since I have, but I believe I baked mine at 400 degree for around 20 minutes. Hope this helps!

  8. These look so good! What do yOU think ABOUT DOING THESE IN THE AIRFRYER. i JUST GOT ONE AND AM LOOKING FOR RECIPIES FOR IT 🙂

  9. 5 stars
    I love this recipe I make it all the time and my family loves it! The only modification I’ve made is I use a coleslaw mix instead to speed up the process.

  10. 5 stars
    I just made these to go with tonight’s dinner.
    I tried one and they are excellent!! I just used half a bag of Coleslaw mix instead of shredding Cabbage. I ground up some boneless skinless thighs in my food processor and cooked it in sesame oil. Next time I will probably add a little salt too.
    Thanks for the great recipe! I will never buy store bought frozen egg rolls again!

  11. Try making this sauce: 1/4 cup orange marmalade, 3 tablespoons ketchup and 3 teaspoons soy sauce. It’s perfect on these egg rolls!
