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?

Is It Hot In Here?

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.

A Perfect Way To Heat Up Your Wings

You gotta watch out serving hot wings sometimes. Not everyone likes that heat. But, one way to satisfy your heat-craving friends is to give them this ‘special’ ranch for dipping their ‘not hot’ wings. They’ll get the heat without someone accidentally picking up a hot wing. Now, that doesn’t stop them from accidentally grabbing this spicy ranch. I can’t help with everything!

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!

Wingstop Ranch Dressing (Copycat Recipe)

This copycat recipe of the Ranch dressing from Wingstop absolutely blew me away. Not only did it make for the perfect wing-dipping sauce, it was fantastic on salads. And for vegetable dippin’. This is one delicious ranch dressing. Crazy delicious. If you’re looking for the ultimate ranch, you found it.

Make A Big Batch, You’ll Thank Me

This is the part of my posts when I usually say things like “next time I’ll….” or “this recipe would be better if…”. Well, not this time. I wouldn’t change a thing about this copycat recipe of the Wingstop ranch dressing. The perfect taste and the perfect consistency, it’s my go-to homemade ranch.

Ok, I thought about it more. I would change one thing. I’d make a double recipe! Or more!

Save The Light Stuff

This is not the time to go looking for ways to make a light dressing. Nope, not now, not here. Do not grab the low-cal mayonnaise. I don’t know what that stuff is good in but I definitely know it’s not good in this recipe.

The same goes for the buttermilk. If you’re trying to save on calories or whatever, or lean towards maybe healthier foods, I personally recommend stretching your next workout for 10-15 minutes instead of skimping on ingredients. You’ll be rewarded.

Storage

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!
