If you’re not a fan of oven-cooked wings, these Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch wings are definitely going to change your views and make a fan out of you and right quick. They did me, that’s for sure. I’m usually a fried wing kinda guy. But these baked wings not only came out juicy and crazy flavorful, the skins were perfectly crunchy to boot. These are very addicting wings and they’re so easy there’s no excuse to not make them. And often at that.
Flavor-Packed Baked Wings
The packet of seasoning for Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch Wings says it makes 2 pounds of wings. But it also says that for more flavor, use only 1 pound of wings. That’s the route I went. I figured, why would I want less flavor? Well, flavor is exactly what I got. So I recommend going the 1 pound route. Don’t risk being sad. Step up. You’ll be glad you did.
Heat Me In The Middle
The smoked paprika adds a nice earthly hint to these wings. And a little color. And smokiness. But no heat. If you’re searching for a little kick, use chipotle pepper powder instead. You’ll still get the color and smokiness, too. Don’t go crazy with it, though. These aren’t meant to be super-hot wings.
Of course, if you want to serve your wings with a dipping sauce, you’ll have to use Hidden Valley Ranch dressing! If you need more kick, add a few good shakes of your favorite hot sauce to the dressing and stir it in!
