All Hail the King!
Crowned the king of salad dressings, this unassuming sauce has found its way to the table of just about every restaurant. It comes as no surprise that Americans have figured out the best way to consume this addictive dip – eat it with everything.
As a result, this buttermilk delight has become a staple for salads, fries, pizza, and of course – hot wings. Fast-food joints were quick to pick up on this and made sure to offer up their own versions of ranch to eager customers. However, it is clear that it takes more than just having any old ranch as an option to please the masses.

What Makes A Good Ranch?
A really good ranch dressing has an authentic ranch flavor that comes from the right herbs. It takes a carefully researched recipe to produce a ranch that has a flavorful substance without being overpowering. Additionally, the best ranch also has the perfect consistency that allows it to stick to your hot wings without creating a sloppy mess.
Although, it can be tricky to find this perfect ranch. Many restaurants have butchered the ranch dressing’s name by serving sorry excuses for this glorious dip. However, Wingstop does a pretty good job at doing it justice. In fact, the masses have even ranked Wingstop ranch as the best ranch of all.
Wingstop’s thick and creamy ranch is so good that people were reported to order them by the pound without buying any wings. Well, you don’t have to join the likes of those plebs because you’re about to learn how to make the best ranch ever with our Wingstop Ranch recipe.
