There’s something about being able to pick up your food and eat it with your hands that’s appealing or maybe I just like pretending I’m a cave-girl. Regardless I’m all for it. Give me a plate of ribs and/or wings and I will go to town. The saucier the better. That’s what napkins are for. Or better yet, wet wipes, lemon scented please.

I’ve partnered with  my friends at Hidden Valley Ranch to create a few recipes. I don’t think my kids have ever been so excited about a partnership. To them, Ranch is a food group. Last month I made SOUTH WESTERN RANCH CHICKEN SALAD.

You did make that didn’t you? This month we’ve made Crispy Honey Ranch Wings. Yes, you’re going to need napkins and lots of them. But they’re totally worth it.

You start out by whisking Ranch seasoning with liquid gold (olive oil) and then massaging it into the wings. I find the massaging goes much more smoothly when you use a gallon zip top plastic bag, unless you just like washing your hands a lot more than usual. Then it’s under the broiler they go to create the crispy skin we all  know and love. Don’t want to fire up the oven? No problem, you could easily grill these wings. You know I like options. 

Once the wings have achieved that coveted golden tan it’s time for the sauce. Sticky. Sweet. Spicy. Almost too much to handle. Almost. Who’s ready for some wings? If you want even more Ranch flavor, serve with a side of Ranch dressing.
