- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 10 to 12 egg roll wrappers

Instructions

- Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling in the center.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly upward.
- Seal the edge with a little water.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep skillet or pot.
- Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works well for a quicker version.
- Seal wrappers tightly to prevent opening while frying.
- For a lighter option, bake at 400°F for 15 to 18 minutes.
- Air fry at 390°F for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve with ranch, spicy mayo, garlic sauce, or honey mustard.
