FAQs
1. Can I bake these egg rolls instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them! Brush the egg rolls with oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
2. How do I know when the oil is hot enough for frying?
You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread in; if it sizzles and turns golden in 30 seconds, the oil is ready.
3. Can I make the filling ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the chicken mixture a day ahead and store it in the fridge. Just fill the egg rolls and fry them when you’re ready to serve.
