I put sauces on everything! They are the perfect way to add extra flavor to different things like fries, wings, burgers, and more. Buffalo ranch sauce became my new sauce obsession after trying some at KFC. I knew I had to come up with a recipe so that I could have it at home.

Buffalo and ranch is a taste pairing that’s always a winner. I love using buffalo sauce for things like buffalo chicken pasta and buffalo chicken wraps and we use ranch on just about everything.

Heather’s recipe tips

• Stir with a whisk or spatula to help get any lumps out.
• I recommend letting the sauce sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors come together.
• If you would like this to be a thinner salad dressing, add a little extra milk.
• Want to make this recipe even easier? Simply mix together 1/2 cup of bottled ranch dressing with 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce.
• If you would like the sauce less spicy, reduce buffalo sauce to 2 tablespoons.
