Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, diced sausage (if using), chopped green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese. Add hot sauce and Cajun seasoning to taste, mixing well until the filling is creamy and evenly blended.

Assemble the Egg Rolls: Take an egg roll wrapper and lay it on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointed towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the spicy filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper, fold the bottom over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing with a beaten egg.

Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet, pour in enough vegetable oil to cover the egg rolls by about 2 inches. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test readiness with a small piece of bread.

Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place the egg rolls seam side down into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.

Serve Hot: Remove fried egg rolls from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Serve hot with dipping sauces like ranch or zesty remoulade.
