Buttermilk Blue Cheese and Chive Wing Dipping Sauce

I’ve made a few wing dipping sauces that had tons of ingredients in them. You know, the ones that take a little bit of time to put together. This buttermilk blue cheese and chive dipping sauce isn’t one of those. A handful of ingredients makes for a great place to dunk your wings. Something to cool you off. There’s nothing huge going on here. Just creamy buttermilk richness with a little blue cheese and a hint of oniony goodness. Nothing too strong to overpower your wings, but great flavor nonetheless.

Buttermilk Blue Cheese and Chive Wing Dipping Sauce

Dunk Away!

This buttermilk blue cheese and chive dipping sauce is a bit thinner than many. It pours out quite easily. You can add more blue cheese (or less buttermilk, depending on how you want to look at it) to make it thicker. But it’s ok thin, too. It’s also a great place to dunk those carrot and celery sticks you’re wondering what to do with.

This sauce is also fantastic on salads.

If you don’t have or can’t find chives, green onions work just as well!

Creamy Ranch Dressing

It was not ‘make some fancy fru-fru wing dipping sauce’ day here. I just wanted a nice Ranch dressing to go with my lunch-time wings. All I had to do was throw a few on-hand ingredients into a bowl, whisk, and throw it into the fridge overnight. I woke up the next day to wing-dipping happiness. A little herby. A lot creamy. And not so strong that it overpowered my wings. This creamy ranch dressing was all I needed!

Creamy Ranch Dressing

Go Fresh… Ish

You can take one of two approaches when you make this creamy Ranch dressing. You can opt for using fresher ingredients. Grab some fresh parsley, dill and chives. You’ll get a nice, bright fresh dressing. Or you can grab the dried herbs and get a just-as-tasty dressing that’s a little easier and uses ingredients you might already have on-hand. That’s what I did. Whichever way you go, you’ll be happy too!

Oh and yes, it’s great on salads!

Buffalo Wing Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce

What’s better than a great tangy wing dipping sauce? One that’s easy to make, that’s what! This Buffalo wing buttermilk blue cheese dipping sauce could hardly be any easier to make. And you can easily double the recipe or more for a crowd. It’s nice and creamy and lightly tangy, perfect for cooling you off after that blazing hot wing. And if you happen to like your wings with carrot and celery sticks, this sauce is great for them too!

Buffalo Wing Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce

Thin-Ish

This Buffalo wing buttermilk blue cheese dipping sauce is thinner. Thinner than say, bottle blue cheese dressing. I was totally ok with that. You might not be. You can adjust the buttermilk and mayonnaise to change that. Or add more blue cheese. It does thicken up a bit if you let it ‘get happy’ in the fridge overnight. Personally I thought it was fine for my wings.

This sauce is also great as a salad dressing.

Buffalo Wing Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce

Oh yeah. Here we go. We’re bringing the blue cheese. None of them ‘I dunked my wings but I don’t see any blue cheese’ blues here. And we’re bringing thick. None of them ‘the dressing dripped off my wings’ blues here. Nope. This Buffalo wing blue cheese dipping sauce was perfect for my Buffalo wing ‘flight’. My combination of smoked and deep-fried wings, some sauced, some not, was perfect for dipping in this dressing. It cooled me off a bit before I took that next great bite!

Buffalo Wing Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce

Chunky When It Needs To Be

You’re in control of the chunkiness when you make your Buffalo wing blue cheese dipping sauce. Process it a bit longer and you get less chunks. Me, I like a few chunks. I like the ones that stick to my wings. That’s where that thick creaminess comes in. It helps those delicious cheese chunks stick. If you have hot wings and need a cool dipping sauce, this is it. So make extra.

Oh and yeah, it’s great on salads too!

Creamy Buttermilk Wing Dipping Sauce

This creamy buttermilk wing dipping sauce is a little on the thin side. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. Not one bit. I’m just letting you know upfront that it’s not one of those barely-drip-off-your-spoon sauces. It’s gonna drip. But you’ll still get enough on your wings to help cool you down from that heat you just put into your mouth.

Creamy Buttermilk Wing Dipping Sauce

Best For Wings

Many of the wing dipping sauces I make started out as salad dressings. Or they end up as salad dressings. Or dips for veggies. This creamy buttermilk wing dipping sauce? Not so much. For me it’s a little thin for those things. But, oh, on wings, it’s yummy. Wings don’t have all those slick surfaces. Have you looked at celery or lettuce? Slick as ice. Nothing that’s not extra-thick is gonna slide right off. Nope, this sauce is just fine only being used for wings.

I gotta say, and I can’t say it enough… don’t go light when you’re making any kind of dressing for dipping your wings.

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 so you achieve wing-dipping perfection.

Ranch Blue Cheese Dressing

Can it be this easy? All those years of standing in front of an open fridge, trying to decide… Will it be Ranch? Or blue cheese? What shall I dip my wings in today? Well, Ranch blue cheese dressing is the correct answer! I love blue cheese. Sometimes I want it funkier than other times. And Ranch? Well, I can drink it straight out of the bottle.

These are happy days indeed my fellow wing lovers. Both tastes in one easy ready-to-dip mix.

Ranch Blue Cheese Dressing

A Little More Funk, Please

Want a bit more of that classic funkiness in your Ranch blue cheese dressing? Sure, you could just adjust the ratio of one dressing to another, though I’m a big fan of equal parts of both. Nope, just add some finely crumbled blue cheese, stir, and serve. Done.

Good On More Than Wings

And yes, this dressing is absolutely fantastic on a garden salad, too. Or use it for dipping vegetables. It’s a winner. An easy winner.

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.

Jalapeno Ranch Dressing

I’m pretty much a Ranch dressing wing-dipping kind of 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 won’t notice it much.
