    Meanwhile, sprinkle work surface with flour. Place 1 egg roll skin on work surface with 1 corner facing you. (Cover remaining skins with damp paper towel to prevent drying out.) Place about 2 rounded tablespoons chicken mixture slightly below center of egg roll skin. Fold corner of egg roll skin closest to filling over filling, tucking point under. Fold in and overlap right and left corners. Brush remaining corner with beaten egg; gently roll egg roll toward remaining corner and press to seal. (Cover filled egg roll with damp paper towel.) Repeat with remaining egg roll skins and chicken mixture.

    Expert Tips You can use any bottled hot sauce in this recipe, but for an Asian spin, try a variety from the Asian section of your supermarket. Starting with a cool filling will give you better results when wrapping the egg rolls. After wrapping, place egg rolls in a single layer on a plate or cookie sheet; don’t stack them. To reheat egg rolls, place on a cookie sheet and bake at 450°F for 10 to 15 minutes or until sizzling.
