Copycat Wingstop Blue Cheese Dressing

I’m a fan of dipping wings (specially spicy ones) into a nice cooling dressing. Blue cheese, Ranch, either will do. But, when I go for the blue cheese I am a tad bit picky. I can’t do the big cheese crumbles. I love them on salads, but they aren’t really for wings. For one reason: they fall off. Smaller crumbles stick to the wings and make for a better experience. That’s why I like making a copycat Wingstop blue cheese dressing at home. I can get those crumbles just like I like them.

Copycat Wingstop Blue Cheese Dressing

The Right Crumble

Now as much as I said I like the crumbles in my copycat Wingstop blue cheese dressing to be small and not huge, there’s a limit to it. Too small and you lose that great texture. Sure you’ll still get great blue cheese and Ranch flavors, but that’s about it. So don’t go crazy. We aren’t making blue cheese soup here. We do still want some thickness to it!

Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

We’ve all had the standard blue cheese dressing. We’ve all dunked countless wings into it, cooling off the crazy hot wings we were about to devour. We love the tanginess, the creaminess. Well this creamy blue cheese dressing is that dressing and a whole lot more. A lot more flavor. Still that great blue cheese ‘funkiness’ with a lot more depth. This is a drinkable dressing if ever there was one.

Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

The Right Dressing for the Job

This creamy blue cheese dressing is perfect for dunking wings. Why? Well, first, it has the perfect consistency. Second, the flavors compliment just about any flavor wing perfectly. And last, it’ll cool you off if you’re experiencing a bit of ‘wing discomfort’ after biting in the hottest wing you’ve ever had. And even if you’re not.

More Crumbles, More Better

If you want more blue cheesiness, feel free to add a few crumbles. Me, I don’t like my blue cheese dressing too crumbly when it comes to dunking wings. Those crumbles tend to slide off the wings. Then what? No crumbles. So what’s the point then if they just fall off?

Creamy Asian Wing Dipping Sauce

Sure, I can dip wings in blue cheese or Ranch dressing all day long. But sometimes I want something a bit different. When I first came across this recipe for a creamy Asian wing dipping sauce I knew I was going to like it. There’s nothing in it that I don’t like. It’s nice and creamy. It has a bit of a spicy kick to it. It has a bit of a citrus flavor with a hint of garlic. And, if you let it set up the fridge overnight, it has the perfect consistency for wing dippin’.

Creamy Asian Wing Dipping Sauce

A Great Sauce For Asian-Inspired Wings

This creamy Asian wing dipping sauce was absolutely great for dipping Teriyaki wings. The two flavors were like a match made in heaven. I also found that this sauce is great as a sandwich spread (I was making my wife a sandwich whilst making some wings for lunch). It’s also great on crackers. It’s a winner for sure!

If I am serving my wings with Ranch or blue cheese or some other sauce, I use these sauce dipping cups. They’re the perfect size for dipping wings, nuggets, tenders and even vegetables.

Also try my Ranch dipping sauce.

Tangy Wing Dipping Sauce

It was time. Time for something a little different to dip my delicious, but darned spicy, Buffalo wings into. I was a bit burned out on the Ranch, the Blue Cheese. I wanted something still smooth, but with a tang. And here it is, my tangy wing dipping sauce. The addition of vinegar to an otherwise pretty ‘normal’ sauce brings a nice edge to it that pairs perfectly with the vinegar tang of the wing sauce.

Tangy Wing Dipping Sauce

An Overnight Rest Is Best

This tangy wing dipping sauce isn’t on the thick side. It will cling to your wings just fine, though, without overdoing it. It does set up a bit overnight, so I do prefer to make it the day before I plan on serving it.

Make sure to get your sauce nice and smooth.

I bought these little ole sauce dipping cups for moments just like this. They’re perfect for dipping wings!

Pimento Cheese Ranch Dressing

Ahhhh. Something different. Something new. That’s what I was looking for when I ran across this recipe for pimento cheese ranch dressing. Oh, no, not for a salad, though it’s great for them. Nope, I made this for dipping my spicy hot Buffalo wings. It cooled me right down, and it was a welcome change from my ‘usual’ ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Pimento Cheese Ranch Dressing

Well Now, That’s Different!

This pimento cheese ranch dressing isn’t thick. It’s a fairly thin sauce, which makes it perfect also as a salad dressing. It is still thick enough to stick to wings, which is why we’re here today. It’ll cool you down from that batch of mouth-on-fire wings, for sure!

I like to serve my wing dipping sauces in these sauce dipping cups. They’re perfect for a batch of wings.

Copycat Outback Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing

I was looking for a new dipping sauce for wings. I love Ranch dressing and I have to admit that it’s my go-to. But I also love blue cheese dressing. So I made this copycat of the blue cheese salad dressing from Outback Steakhouse. This instantly became my favorite chicken wing dipping sauce (and salad dressing).

Copycat Outback Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing

The Perfect Wing Dunking Dressing

You really need to let this copycat Outback Steakhouse blue cheese salad dressing ‘get happy’ in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. I actually prefer to let it sit overnight. The flavors get blended as you wait, and the wait is worth it. If you taste the dressing just moments after you make it you might disappointed as it won’t have much flavor. That flavor comes later, so be patient! Then get you some wings, some of this dressing and GET TO IT!

I use this little ole sauce dipping cups for my salad dressings and dipping sauces. Whether I’m dipping wings, nuggets or chicken tenders or whatever, they’re the perfect size. And they’re easy to clean up, too. As an added bonus they help me with serving size, which is a good thing because I lack control around this blue cheese dressing!

Jalapeno Ranch Dressing

I’m pretty much a Ranch dressing wing-dipping kinda guy. Sometimes I’ll go ‘nuts’ and dip with blue cheese dressing. I’m always on the lookup for a way to amp up my Ranch dressing, just to make sure I don’t get bored with it. This jalapeno Ranch dressing combines a few ingredients with bottled dressing and in no time, boom! Upscale Ranch dressing with a nice mild kick.

Jalapeno Ranch Dressing

Ranch. With A kick.

This jalapeno Ranch dressing definitely needs to get happy in the fridge for AT LEAST 2 hours before serving. I actually prefer to let it blend overnight. It thickens up then too, making it perfect for sticking to wings. Heck, you don’t want the stuff just running right off, do you?

And don’t fear the jalapeno. It adds a nice pepper flavor, with just a little heat. You can use more if you want more of a kick but I wouldn’t use less or you want notice it much.

I use these little sauce dipping cups for dipping my wings. They’re also great for things like nuggets, tenders and even dipping vegetables. As an added bonus, they’re as to clean too!
