Ingredients
  

  • Good quality mayonnaise 1 cup or more for thicker ranch
  • Ranch seasoning mix 1–2 tbsp or 1 packet, ~1 oz
  • Buttermilk ½ cup adjust for desired thickness
  • Sea salt / Kosher salt Pinch to taste
  • Optional: Adjust seasonings If you prefer more tang or a bolder flavor.

Instructions
 

Step 1 — Combine the Base Ingredients

  • In a medium-sized bowl, add mayonnaise and ranch seasoning mix. Stir gently to combine until smooth.

Step 2 — Add Buttermilk Gradually

  • Slowly pour in buttermilk while whisking continuously. This ensures a smooth, lump-free mixture. Adjust the buttermilk to create your preferred consistency: thinner for dressing, thicker for dipping.

Step 3 — Season to Taste

  • Add a pinch of salt and mix well. Taste the ranch and adjust seasoning if needed — this is your chance to make it perfectly Wingstop-style.

Step 4 — Chill for Best Flavor

  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and slightly thickens the ranch.

Step 5 — Serve and Enjoy

  • Your ranch is now ready! Use it as a dip for wings, fries, chicken tenders, or fresh veggies, or drizzle it over salads and wraps for extra flavor.

Pro Tip

  • If your ranch separates after chilling, simply whisk it gently to bring it back to a creamy, smooth texture.

Notes

For the creamiest texture, use full-fat mayonnaise.
• Adjust buttermilk slowly to reach your ideal dip or dressing consistency.
• Chilling is essential—it deepens the flavor and thickens the ranch.
• Taste and tweak the salt or seasoning to match Wingstop’s signature balance.
• Store in an airtight container and use within 4–5 days for best freshness.
