How to make Baked Ranch Chicken Wings
To make these delicious baked ranch chicken wings you will need:
- Chicken Wings – I love wings for more than just game day. Make sure you pat them dry well to get crispy skin.
- Ranch seasoning packet – ranch seasoning is a mixture of parsley flakes, garlic powder, dried chives, lemon pepper seasoning, oregano, tarragon, and salt. See tips and tricks below to mix your own.
- Butter – use salted rich butter for a rich sauce, keep extra for thinning if necessary.
Once you have assembled the ingredients, use the following method:
- Cook the chicken – Pan the Chicken Dry and bake at 400 degrees on a wire rack on a sheet pan till done about 45 minutes. For an extra crunch broil for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Make the sauce – In a small pan, melt butter on medium heat. Stir in ranch dressing seasoning packet, stirring to remove all lumps. If sauce thickens, thin with more butter.
- Coat the wings – When wings are done baking, add to large bowl and drizzle with sauce – toss wings to coat as you drizzle sauce on.
Tips and Tricks for Perfect Baked Ranch Chicken Wings

FAQs
I love a classic Ranch dressing with a few squirts of Siracha or your favorite hot sauce for a spicy sauce to accompany these.
Leftover wings can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or the oven.
