Honey Buffalo Wings with Homemade Ranch
So crispy, so sticky, so finger-licking amazing!!! Plus, the homemade Ranch? MIND BLOWN. Pass the beer, please!!!
You guys know how much I love Game Day food. Just give me all the finger-licking goodness because you know I ain’t watching the game.
Nope, my eyes are glued to the ice cold beers and the sticky, glossy, super-saucy, honey buffalo wings, waiting to be dunked, smothered and fully swimming in that homemade Ranch.
Serve with celery sticks, extra beers and lots of napkins. They’ll come in handy!
Side note: You can, of course, use store-bought Ranch if you’re short on time but seriously, nothing beats the homemade version.

Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings or drumettes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- ⅓ cup hot sauce, such as Cholula
