buttermilk ranch grilled chicken wings

Buttermilk ranch grilled chicken wings are a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that combines crispy skin with juicy meat, all enveloped in creamy, tangy buttermilk ranch dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of chicken wings
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • Vegetable sticks (like carrots and celery, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken wings by combining buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F) and clean the grates.
  4. Remove the wings from the marinade and place them on the grill, leaving space between each wing. Grill for 20-25 minutes, turning every 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Prepare the buttermilk ranch dressing by mixing buttermilk, mayonnaise, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until creamy.
  6. Serve the grilled wings with the ranch dressing and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the marinade.
  • Use a resealable plastic bag for easy marinating.
  • Let the dressing chill in the fridge for a few hours for the best flavor.
  • Store leftover dressing in an airtight container for up to a week.
