I always get really excited whenever I find a good new recipe for blue cheese or ranch dressing. Yeah, sure most people might think ‘salad’ but I think ‘wings’. I like them easy and I like them tasty. This copycat recipe of the Whataburger buttermilk ranch dressing is spot-on fantastic for dipping wings.
This dressing would probably be good on a salad, too. I dunno. I do wings. I think about wings all of time. So would I go to a burger place for their wings? Nope. But I’d go there for their ranch dressing for MY wings!

Stop At The Light
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. Well, I can’t tell you what to do, so I’ll say I ‘recommend that you don’t use light ingredients’. We’re here to enjoy great wings with a great dipping sauce to help cool us off a bit so we can get back to the wings. Ok, yeah, maybe there’s a carrot stick or a piece of celery we can drag through it too. But we’re here for great wings and a great dressing. Use the ‘heavy ‘stuff. It’s what makes this copycat recipe of Whataburger buttermilk ranch dressing so amazing!
And yep, you can use fresh parsley and chives if you want. Our grocery store is hit-and-miss on both a lot. It was ‘miss’ this week, so I went with dried ingredients.
I serve this dressing on the side in condiment cups. They’re the perfect size for a batch of personal-sized wings. They’re wide enough to dip flats or drumettes. They’re also great for portion control if that’s your thing. Sometimes it’s supposed to be my thing.
