FRIED CHICKEN WINGS WITH RANCH



Fried Chicken Wings with Ranch image

The dressing here is all about the garlic. The garlic and onion powders are important for that true ranch flavor we know from childhood. I serve these wings with lots of sliced carrots and cucumbers on the side for dunking in the dressing. I also just put out homemade or jarred pickle spears too. It's nice to take a break every few wings and eat your vegetables.

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup pickle juice
2 large cloves garlic, grated
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 quarts canola oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
3 1/2 pounds chicken wings split into drumettes and flats (about 18 each)
Kosher salt
1 large lemon, thinly sliced, for serving
Sliced carrots and cucumbers and pickle spears, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk and pickle juice with the grated garlic, dill, hot sauce, garlic powder and onion powder. Taste for seasoning.
  • Prepare the wings: Pour the oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Prepare 2 rimmed baking sheets, one lined with a wire rack. In a large bowl, combine the flour and cornstarch. Separate the larger wings and the smaller ones. Season all of them with salt and toss in the flour mix. Shake off the excess.
  • Fry the wings : Lower half of the larger wings into the oil and gently "swirl" the oil with a slotted spoon as they fry. This swirling will assure they fry more evenly on all sides. When they are light to medium brown, 5 to 7 minutes, remove them with the slotted spoon and lay them out on the wire rack to cool. Season with salt. Cook the rest of the wings in batches, keeping the cooked wings warm in the second baking sheet in the oven until all are fried. Leave the wings in the oven for at least 10 minutes to assure all are cooked through.
  • Arrange the wings on a serving platter with the ranch dressing alongside for dunking. Serve with the lemon, carrots, cucumbers and pickles.

For years I have loved Ranch anything and finally came up with this recipe for a different appetizer wing, children and adults alike eat them up in no time! I always come home with a empty bowl when taken to potlucks!

Provided by Shawn C

Categories     Chicken

Time P1DT1h

Yield 5 lbs wings, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 lbs chicken wings
3 (1 ounce) packets ranch dressing mix
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil or 1/3 cup vegetable oil
water
hot sauce

Steps:

  • Add dressing mix and vinegar and oil in large bowl also add hot sauce to taste (a little if you like mild, little more for medium and a lot if you like hot. Start with 1 tablespoon and next time add more if you want!).
  • Whisk together with a wire whisk, adding enough water to make a thinner mixture (your first mixture will be very thick and you want it thin enough to coat the chicken).
  • Toss chicken in the mixture (for best results marinate overnight).
  • When ready to cook lay in a single layer on a foil lined pan (deep enough to keep drippings in the pan) Bake at 400° for 20 minutes, turn over (drain drippings into a saucepan) and baste with some more sauce, bake at 425° for 25 minutes (you may need to put them under the broiler for a few minutes to brown them up a little).
  • Remove chicken to serving platter stacking them in the center of the platter.
  • In small saucepan mix remaining sauce and all the drippings from the pan; boil whisking the mixture the whole time until cooked through and thickened.
  • Drizzle over chicken and serve immediately.
