Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, diced sausage (if using), chopped green onions, cheddar cheese, a few dashes of hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well-blended and creamy.
  2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond position. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and then roll the wrapper tightly up toward the top corner. Seal the edges using a small amount of beaten egg.
  3. In a deep skillet or fryer, pour in vegetable oil until it reaches about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium heat until a thermometer reads 350°F (175°C).
  4. Carefully lower the prepared egg rolls into the hot oil, frying them in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil, letting excess oil drain on paper towels.
  5. Arrange your freshly fried Voodoo Egg Rolls on a serving platter and pair them with your favorite dipping sauces.
