Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Hot sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow the wings to cook evenly.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil to evenly coat them.
In a small bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning mix, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken wings, using your hands to toss and ensure every wing is coated evenly.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the spicy ranch sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce and whisk until combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the spicy ranch sauce over the wings and toss to coat them completely.
Serve the Spicy Ranch Chicken Wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, fresh celery sticks, and enjoy!
