Buffalo and ranch have always been a match made in heaven, so we made a special mash up wing sauce to showcase the best of both worlds using Dilly Ranch not just salad dressing.

No air-fryer? no problem! Here are this instructions for oven baked wings:

1. Set the oven to 400 degrees with a rack 6 inches from the broiler. Line a sheet tray with foil, and set a wire rack inside.

2. In a large bowl toss wings with the oil and garlic powder, and sprinkle generously with salt

3. Spread the wings out in an even layer on the rack and bake for about 40 minutes until cooked through. While the wings cook, in a clean large bowl combine the Dilly Ranch not just salad dressing and buffalo sauce.

5. Set the oven to broil and return the rack to the oven, broil for about 3 minutes until crispy, and Toss with the Buffalo-Ranch sauce, transfer to a large plate or platter and sprinkle with the scallions or chives.
