The dip was my favorite part of those ranch wings last year and was crucial in delivering the more familiar and comforting ranch flavor, so it seemed like a smart move to keep it in the mix here too.Īfter firing up a full chimney of charcoal, I dumped those scorching hot coals out and arranged them on one side of the charcoal grate to create a two-zone fire. I still had half of the ranch seasoning remaining, so I mixed that up with a cup of sour cream to make a classic ranch dip.

While I was going on that path, I figured I would enhance some flavor components and add more depth by adding a few more ingredients like dark brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and apple cider vinegar. This gave that rich and spicy sauce an extra tang and strong herbal stamp that certainly drove it in a direction slightly away from the ubiquitous Buffalo sauce. What was most different was that I dropped a few tablespoons of the ranch mixture into a standard combo of Frank's hot sauce and butter that I had heated up. I was really happy with the how the ranch seasoning tasted last year, so this part of the recipe remained exactly the same. While the wings rested in the fridge, I did mix up a standard ranch seasoning that included the required buttermilk powder, which is what provides that hallmark tang to the sauce. This air drying step is the most crucial part of getting a good crunch to the skin, one that holds up even after being drenched in sauce the way fried wings do. I then took the next step to crispy grilled wings, which was to arrange them on a wire rack set in a baking sheet and placing the whole thing in the fridge overnight. After patting the wings dry with paper paper towels, I tossed them with the seasoning mixture until all the chicken appeared evenly coated. This seasoning mixture did include baking powder though, which is what creates a textured skin on grilled or baked wings, and that renders them better holders of sauce, plus added crispiness. So to fix that this time around, I made a separate wing seasoning that kept most of the herbs and spices, but ditched the powdered buttermilk. I attributed that happening due to the buttermilk powder in the ranch seasoning mixture, which I had applied to the wings prior to cooking. They didn't taste burnt at all, but they definitely looked like they were.

The one fault in that original ranch wings recipe was they darkened too much during cooking. So I decided this year to make what I think is a better incarnation of ranch wings, and I did that by merely pairing it up with Buffalo sauce since we all know that these two classic seasonings already go well together, and I was left fully smitten by these Buffalo ranch wings. I stand by that being a good recipe, but I was really left wanting more out of those wings, in particular, something spicy. In 2021, I had ranch wings as part of my round up of the best wing recipes I made that year.
