These were very good right out of the oven, however the left overs seemed to loose some of their Flavor. Next time I will make only what I plan to eat right away.

Not bad. I made as directed, I didn't really taste the ranch and no one thought they were spicy enough, could have been the hot sauce I chose (Frank's). I do like that they are baked and not fried...that's always a plus. And they did get a nice crunch to them.

These were delicious! I used the 3 pound bag of frozen wings. I put Frank's Hot Wing Sauce on them with the butter and let them sit in the fridge for 4 hours. We liked the ranch and paprika on them. I also sprinkled a bit more regular Frank's Hot Sauce on them before I put them in the oven. Thanks so much for posting! Made for 12 Days of Christmas recipe swap.

These are definitely a spicy chicken wing and a great HIT with the MEN of this family. Nothing can ever be spicy enough to satisfy. I will say that I think it over powered the ranch taste. But saying that I must preface by saying that I kinda messed up the directions given. I mixed all the ingredients together in a zip-lock and then went back and read where I was only suppose to mix the liquid with the chicken for marinating:-(. Oh Wellll.....it turned out great and maybe that's why the ranch didn't come thru as strongly as if you would have sprinkled it on b/f baking. Great recipe Lainey. Glad I tagged for NewestZaarTag~
