Buffalo Ranch Sauce
Method
Buffalo Ranch Sauce
- 1
Combine base
In a medium mixing bowl, add 1 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Whisk together until smooth and homogenous.
- 2
Thin and season
Pour in 1/4 cup buttermilk and whisk to reach a thick yet pourable consistency. Add 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until evenly incorporated.

Prepare buffalo
In a small microwave-safe bowl or skillet, combine 1/4 cup hot sauce and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Warm briefly (about 10–15 seconds in microwave) then whisk until fully combined and slightly emulsified. Taste and, if desired, stir in 1 teaspoon honey to mellow the heat.

Finish sauce
Gradually whisk 2–3 tablespoons of the buffalo mixture into the ranch base to temper flavors, then add the remaining buffalo mixture and whisk until uniform. Stir in 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives and 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning: add a pinch more salt or a dash more buttermilk if too thick.

Rest and serve
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld (2 hours preferred). Give a final stir before serving. Use as a dip, dressing, or to toss with cooked chicken wings.
