🔥 Buffalo Ranch Wings: Spicy, Tangy, Finger‑Lickin’ Good

When game day (or any day) calls for a crowd‑pleasing snack, Buffalo Ranch Wings deliver on all fronts—crispy skin, bold heat, and a cool, herby ranch finish that keeps you coming back for more. These wings are everything you love about classic Buffalo style with a creamy twist that mellows the spice without losing flavor.

🍗 Inspiration: Two Classics, One Wing

Buffalo sauce is famous for its buttery, vinegary heat. Ranch brings cooling herbs and creamy balance. Put them together and you get the ultimate party wing—zippy, rich, and wildly addictive. Perfect for tailgates, watch parties, backyard cookouts, or a Friday night craving session.

✅ What Makes These Wings Special

• Dual Sauce Finish: Tossed first in Buffalo, then lightly coated or drizzled with ranch—or served with ranch dip on the side.
• Crispy Without Frying: A baking powder dry rub or air fryer method gives you shatter‑crisp skin without deep frying.
• Adjustable Heat: Use mild, medium, or hot wing sauce; kick it up with cayenne.
• Game‑Day Scalable: Easy to double for a crowd.

🥣 Buffalo + Ranch Flavor Guide

Buffalo Base: Hot sauce + melted butter (or ghee) + splash of vinegar for brightness.

Ranch Accent: Buttermilk (or sour cream), mayo, garlic, dill, parsley, chives—thin for drizzle or leave thick for dipping.

🔥 Cooking Methods

• Oven‑Baked: Coat wings lightly in baking powder + salt; bake on a rack at high heat (425°F) until crisp, then sauce.
• Air Fryer: Great for small batches—12–16 minutes, turning halfway, crisp perfection.
• Grilled / Smoked: Adds a charred note that pairs beautifully with tangy buffalo and creamy ranch.

🥕 Serving & Add‑Ons

Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, extra Buffalo sauce, and a side of ranch or blue cheese dip. Garnish with chopped chives or dill for a fresh, ranch‑style finish.

💡 Pro Tips for Crispy Buffalo Ranch Wings

• Pat wings very dry before seasoning—moisture kills crisp.
• Use a wire rack over a sheet pan so heat circulates.
• Toss in sauce just before serving to keep that crunch.
• Want sticky wings? Return sauced wings to the oven for 3–5 minutes.
