Crispy, flaky, creamy, spicy… these Buffalo Chicken Phyllo Rolls have it all!
Hey friends! Melanie again from Garnish & Glaze. Today I’m sharing an awesome appetizer recipe that both kids and adults will love!
Confession: I’m not a big fan of watching football. It’s just too slow and last what seems like eternity… kinda like yoga. I’m more of a fast-pace sports girl. Well, despite my dislike for the game, I’m a big fan of the food served while watching. Because… APPETIZERS!!!
Buffalo hot wings are a Game Day favorite among many so I decided to get creative with the buffalo chicken and bleu cheese combo. These Buffalo Chicken Phyllo rolls are still just as messy but packed with even more flavor and texture. Imagine a warm, creamy, spicy chicken and bleu cheese mix all wrapped up in a crisp flaky phyllo shell… yeah, I’m starting to drool too.
Since the buffalo hot sauce is mixed with the chicken and cream cheese it’s not as spicy as your typical hot wing, making this a great option for kids… or adults who can’t handle the heat. I thought it might be too hot for my 2 1/2 year old but she was a big fan of these and kept taking mine. Irresistibly good, I tell ya! Enjoy!
How Long Will Phyllo Keep in the Refrigerator?
Wrap Phyllo tightly in plastic wrap and it will keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
What is Phyllo Dough Made From?
Phyllo Dough is made from wheat flour, water, corn starch, salt, and canola oil or white vinegar.
Can You Use Phyllo Dough for Egg Rolls?
If you want a lighter, flakier egg roll, you can use phyllo pastry instead of traditional egg roll wrappers.
They will need to be baked instead of deep fried, which actually makes them a little healthier.

Works great with ground turkey and puff pastry dough! So excited to see turn out! We needed an extra 10 minutes to get it crispy! I didn’t have enough dough so I made extra spiced balls. It is the same thing just coated in hot sauce and in ball shape! Came out great! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the feedback Abbie!
So easy even a child can make! Made one sheet of rolls and accidentally made extra spicy balls! I used puff pastry dough and ground turkey. #gameday #gogiants
Sounds great! Thanks Abbie!
Hi,
What is another cheese and dip I could use.
I am not a fan of bleu cheese.
Thank you.

Hi Marci! My other favorite dip is just good ol’ ranch! Here is our recipe for homemade ranch dressing: https://ohsweetbasil.com/house-salad-creamy-ranch-dressing/. Enjoy!
Can I freeze these after cooking? Thanks!
Yes. They freeze great!
Can I make these in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake, right before the party?
Yes!
Hi Melanie, your creative buffalo chicken and bleu cheese combo looks so yummy and mouth watering in the pics. Hopefully, I will be trying this at home by coming weekend. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
