How to make Baked Ranch Chicken Wings

To make these good baked ranch chicken wings you will need:

• Chicken Wings – We love wings for more than 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.
