    Ingredients

    • Mayonnaise- To get the right consistency, thickness, and texture you need to make sure you get quality heavy duty brand name mayonnaise like Hellman's or Dukes. Store brands tend be on the thinner side and you won't get that same thick sauce you are looking for like they have in the restaurant.
    • Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing- It surprised us to see this simple yet delicious ingredient on the list of the original viral video on how to make this amazing wing dip. It adds the perfect flavor that we all love and it makes it easy in compared to gathering various spices and seasonings.
    • Buttermilk- This recipe uses buttermilk. It gives it that rich flavor that you love that is missing in regular ranch dressing. While this copycat recipe is with buttermilk, look to our variations and substitutions to see how to make it without buttermilk.

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    Buttermilk at the bottom of a medium sized mixing bowl.
    1. Add buttermilk to a medium sized mixing bowl.
    High quality mayonnaise added to the buttermilk.

    2. Next put the mayonnaise into the mixing bowl with the buttermilk.

    Hidden valley ranch dressing packet sprinkled on top of the mayonnaise and buttermilk.

    3. Sprinkle the hidden valley ranch dressing packet on top of the two other ingredients.

    Mixing the 3 ingredients together to make a smooth and thick wingstop ranch.

    4. With a mixing spoon or rubber scraper, mix all three ingredients until combined.

    Make sure to not leave any chunks of mayonnaise.

    Refrigerate for 30 minutes to help set the sauce.

    Hint: Be sure to use a high quality brand name mayonnaise for best results. Brand name mayonnaise tends to have higher quality ingredients that make for a thicker mixture. This will make sure the Wingstop ranch recipe is as authentic as possible.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • Heavy Cream - instead of using buttermilk, use heavy whipping cream instead. The taste may be altered as heavy cream has a milder taste. They have a similar consistency that will keep your dip delicious.
    • Milk - use standard milk. This is going to be a similar taste to the recipe found on the back of the dressing packet and may not resemble that restaurant taste you are looking for. It also may be runny. Try halving the milk if you use this variation.
    • Almond milk and other milk alternatives-If you want to try a dairy free option you can try using almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk. Use half the liquid as the original recipe. This substitution will change the taste and texture.
    • Sour Cream - use sour cream instead of mayonnaise. This will keep the consistency of the traditional recipe.
    • Plain Greek Yogurt- substitute the buttermilk for pain greek yogurt.

    Equipment

    This simple recipe only requires a medium mixing bowl and a spoon for mixing.

    Storage

    Store mixed dressing in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks if you used good/just opened buttermilk.

    This recipe does not freeze and thaw well.

    Top tip

    While you can use subsitutions like heavy cream and less mayonnaise, to get that Wingstop Ranch Recipe taste you love, be sure to follow the ingredient list and recipe.
