These Crispy Chicken Egg Rolls are a flavorful and crunchy appetizer or dinner option, filled with seasoned ground chicken, cabbage, and carrots, then fried until golden brown. A perfect homemade version of a Chinese takeout favorite!

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 20 egg rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 tsp ginger, minced
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 2½ cups cabbage and carrots (shredded coleslaw mix)
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • ¼ tsp Chinese five spice powder
  • 20 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 quart vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground chicken with ginger and garlic until crumbled and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat and return to heat.
  2. Add the coleslaw mix, green onions, salt, sugar, sesame oil, and Chinese five spice powder. Stir and cook until the vegetables are tender. Let the mixture cool slightly.
  3. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Brush the edges with beaten egg, then tightly roll up, sealing the edges.
  4. Preheat fryer to 375°F or heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F.
  5. Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying to ensure even cooking.
  • Can be frozen before frying—just thaw slightly before cooking.
  • Serve with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
  • Use a thermometer to monitor oil temperature for best results.
