What Makes the Wingstop Ranch Dip So Good?

Everyone knows that hot wings are better with a bowl of ranch dip on the side. And if that ranch dip comes from Wingstop, so much the better!

Until recently, the ingredients in Wingstop ranch dressing dip were a closely guarded secret. But a viral TikTok video blew the lid off the mystery and answered two of the most commonly asked questions about the dipping sauce:

• How does Wingstop make their ranch dip?
• What ranch does Wingstop use in their dipping sauce?

This recipe reproduces the famous Wingstop Ranch Dip based on the answers from that video. 

Why You Need To Try This Recipe 

With just three ingredients, this copycat Wingstop Ranch Dip is simple and easy to make. The real star of the show here is the sour tang of the cultured buttermilk that works so well with the other components in the dip. That wonderful buttermilk taste is what sets it apart.

While the recipe and the restaurant both use cultured buttermilk, if you can get your hands on some real buttermilk, it will give the dip even more wonderful acidity.
