No reviews

These oven-baked chicken wings are marinated in a spicy ranch blend and baked to crispy perfection, then finished under the broiler for extra golden crunch. Serve them with a zesty Dirty Ranch dipping sauce for a game day or party snack that’s outrageously flavorful and wildly addictive.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 package ranch dressing seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • For the Dirty Ranch Sauce:
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, hot sauce, paprika, ranch seasoning, granulated garlic, and salt until well combined.
  2. Place chicken wings in a large zip-top bag or bowl. Pour marinade over and mix until all wings are coated.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and arrange wings in a single layer.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes. Switch oven to broil and broil wings for 3–5 minutes. Flip and broil the other side for another 3–5 minutes until golden and crisp.
  6. For the Dirty Ranch Sauce, mix ranch dressing with hot sauce and sugar.
  7. Serve wings hot with Dirty Ranch Sauce on the side.

Notes

  • For spicier wings, increase the hot sauce in the marinade.
  • Using a wire rack allows air circulation, making the wings crispier.
  • Marinating overnight yields the best flavor.
  • Serve with celery and carrot sticks for a classic game-day pairing.
