Garlic Ranch Dipping Sauce

I have to admit, this recipe seemed a little… odd…. when I first read it. Diced onion in Ranch dressing was not something I’d done before. In a French dressing, sure. But not Ranch. And when I first made this and tried it the onion confused my tongue. Little crunchy things made me think blue cheese crumbles but they didn’t taste like blue cheese. But I powered forward and let me say, I absolutely loved this garlic Ranch dipping sauce. It needed a full night in the fridge to really come to full flavor. And once it did, I found it perfect for dipping my wings.

Joe Cool

This garlic Ranch dipping sauce was just what I needed along side my screaming-hot Buffalo wings. I needed something to cool me off. I was sweating. And yes, I was crying. But, a quick dunk in this sauce brought me back to normal. Well, as normal as I was before I took that first bite at least.

This sauce has the right consistency to stick to your wings. Without being too thick. And that’s important. The onions soften overnight, adding great flavor without being ‘chunky’.

And of course, it’s great on salads, too. Or for dipping your carrot and celery sticks.

Kinder’s The Chicken Dipping Sauce

This is kind of a change for me. Most of my wing dipping sauces are either homemade or salad dressings. And although it’s not labelled as a ‘wing dipping sauce’, I found Kinder’s The Chicken dipping sauce to be a nice change from my usual wing-dunking choices. The sauce is deliciously creamy, with a slight sweetness and a bit of mustard. A very slight amount of spiciness can be found, but it’s mostly in hiding, so nothing to be afraid of if you’re not into heat. It’s mayonnaise-like in its creaminess. I prefer it for dunking my dry, un-sauced wings.

Dip Deep. It’s That Good

Kinder’s The Chicken Dipping sauce is also great for dipping nuggets. But, the place it finds the most use in my house (besides for wings) is on sandwiches. Just toast some bread, add some sandwich meat and a slice or two of cheese. Top with plenty of the sauce and get to eatin’!

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.

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.

Wingstop Blue Cheese Dressing (Copycat Recipe)

I’m a fan of dipping wings (especially 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 this Wingstop blue cheese copycat recipe dressing at home. I can get those crumbles just like I like them.

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!

I also make a great Wingstop Ranch copycat recipe!

It’s Just Not The Time For The Light Stuff

Ok, I get that some folks might want to go the ‘light’ route when they make this dressing. I don’t blame them. But, and hear me out, this isn’t the time for that. Splurge. You’ve got a batch of delicious wings. You want a batch of delicious blue cheese dressing to dunk them in. This really isn’t the best time for compromising. Use real buttermilk and good mayo. Save the light stuff for tomorrow’s salad!

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.

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 dressing 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. And, it’s nice and creamy. It has a bit of a spicy kick to it. It also 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’! Heck, them’s all wins in my book!

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). And 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 like this one, I use these sauce dipping cups. They’re the perfect size for dipping wings, nuggets, tenders and even vegetables.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Outback Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing (Copycat Recipe)

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 recipe of the blue cheese salad dressing from Outback Steakhouse. This instantly became my favorite chicken wing dipping sauce (and salad dressing).

The Perfect Wing Dunking Dressing

You really need to let this copycat recipe 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 be disappointed as it won’t have much flavor. That flavor comes later, so be patient! Then get yourself 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 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.

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.

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!
