Bacon-Ranch Chicken Wings

David Venable

Sure, you could order wings, but will they be great or just…eh? We perfected this homemade recipe—and baked them, so they're easy to make at home.

Sauce

  • 1 (8-oz) container sour cream
  • 1 (8-oz) jar mayonnaise
  • 1 (1-oz) package ranch seasoning and salad dressing mix
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 4 Tbsp real bacon bits
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped

To prepare the sauce

Place all the ingredients listed above into a small bowl and mix until well incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.

Wings

  • 24 chicken wings
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 1 (1-oz) package ranch seasoning and salad dressing mix

To prepare the wings

Place the wings, pepper, celery salt, and ranch seasoning in a large plastic bag. Close the bag and shake it really well until all the wings are evenly coated. Refrigerate and marinate overnight, or at least 8 hours.

Cook's Notes

You might find the ranch flavor on the wings (without the sauce) is strong enough. If so, don't coat the wings before serving. Only offer the sauce on the side as a condiment.
