These Spicy Ranch Baked Chicken Wings are so good, your guests will be begging for more!
Game day isn’t complete without a big tray of chicken wings. Right? These Spicy Ranch Chicken Wings are AH-MAZING! Crispy, slightly spicy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
My family loves chicken wings! whether they’re saucy, dry rubbed, sticky, sweet spicy we love them all! Its amazing how crispy you can get wings without frying them. These are definitely a new family favorite in our home!
I recommend doubling both the wings and sauce, they are always a hit and don’t ever last long!
The Dirty Ranch Sauce is so good! Either dip the wings in, or slather that heavenly sauce all over them and dig in!
I always try and marinade them for 24 hours for optimal flavor. But 4 hours would be the minimum time if your in a time crunch.
Cooking them on a baking sheet with cooling rack helps the air circulate all the way around. And using a baking mat or parchment paper will make for much easier clean up.

THIS RECIPE IS THE BOMB!!! Just wow!!!! I only marinated for four hours, and the wings were really juicy, and fabulous. I did brush them with butter before I broiled them at the end. I moved this recipe into my FAVES bookmarks.

Whatever your favorite is really. I use Cholula and sometimes Tapatio. Hope this helps Sean 🙂

Do you have a hot sauce suggestion? This is a very easy recipe which I like, but it comes out different every time depending on the hot sauce used. They all taste so different depending on the brand, peppers used, water & seed content, spices, etc.
