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.
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.
Thin Is In
You can make this sauce bit thicker by cutting back a bit on the lemon juice. But by all means don’t do anything nuts like using light ingredients. No light buttermilk. Or diet sour cream. And lite mayonnaise? Oh my. No! For me, that means Blue Plate. It’s full-strength mayonnaise. And full-flavor. I don’t use anything else. Ever. We don’t have it our grocery stores in Indianapolis. So I have it on subscribe-and-save on Amazon. Once a month, the Amazon Santa brings me a jar! How awesome is that!
I serve this dipping sauce in condiment cups. For two reasons, actually. One, they’re the right size of wings. They’re wide at the top, perfect for flats or drumettes. Second, they keep me from going nuts. They help with portion control. I seem to need that around certain foods.
