what is the only acceptable dip for hot wings? I myself, being raised in California, started out with ranch and stuck to it dogmatically(for some reason I have always thought of this as a west vs east thing). recently though I have seen the light and cannot even think about ruining my wings by dipping them in ranch.

so, what do you prefer? and, more importantly, WHY is one better than the other?

[I thought a nice lighthearted debate would be fun]
 
I am from Buffalo, NY. Therefor, I am born an expert on this. Blue Cheese, and there is no alternative, NONE. So dont even think about dipping your wings in Ranch.

You people Disgust me with all this ranch nonsense!!!
 
Bah, blue cheese tastes like ass soaked in feet. Ranch all the way! You Easterners are sick and wrong!
 
Give us the blue cheese, and keep nasty wingses. They can go hide in the corner with the ranch dressing and other inedible foodstuffs.
 
Evil, #1, your opinion doesnt count, but thats because your not from Buffalo. You guys call them "Buffalo Wings" for a reason.

Blue Cheese is like the best tasting ass soaked in feet that you will ever taste.
Oh yeah and for some reason, everywhere but buffalo has some nasty tasting wings. They must ship you guys the slightly retarded birds to use for wings or somethin.
 
*WE* call them hotwings out here, because buffalo do not actually have wings! I make my own hot sauce to marinate them in and use a hacked up job of a recipe for KFC's 'secret recipe' for breading, it's quite tasty. And I love ranch, you can KEEP your bleu cheese. Don't you know what the blue is? It's mold! How could you consume ANYthing that's infested with microbes??

Infested with microbes? Now that is just sick. I would never, ever eat or drink anything that has been exposed to microbes.

Now, excuse me while I go eat some sauerkraut and drink some beer.

(BTW- I voted bleu cheese. And it should be homemade bleu cheese sauce- not that stuff that passes for "dressing")
 
What, seriously? I can't see how ranch could even be in the running. That would be like saying, "What goes better with hamburgers - french fries or dead puppies?" Where bleu cheese is equivilant to french fries and ranch is equal to dead puppies, of course.

Haha!!! Mmmmmm dead puppies! :D

Hey, waitress! I don't like ranch, can I see your puppies?
 
If they are hot wings or Buffalo wings - Bleu Cheese is it. Period.

Now if you've got some other kind of wings, knock yourself out with the ranch if you like.

The wings place here in town has 35 flavors, its just a shame its only carry out and they don't have draft beer or soemthing - that would be really cool for a sports bar type wing joint.
 
I gotta go with Bleu Cheese....but I can't believe we're talking about mold.... we brew, and happily, drink beer. We all know what alcohol is...right?
 
Eating wings with ranch? Hell, I know the mess I make with wings. No way am I sitting in a public place with ranch dressing all over my face. My family would never forgive me if a pic like that got on the gay porn sites. :(
 
I am not from buffalo but i am a purest. Wings should be fried not backed (out here in Texas very few places fry them) They should be naked, no breading. And they must be served with blue cheese dressing not ranch.
 
Blue Cheese all the way. I used to live in Buffalo for a time and that is just how it's done. Ask for Ranch Sauce in Buffalo and you get shown the door.
 
Blue Cheese all the way!! I rarely dip my wings, but if I do it HAS to be blue cheese. I'm from central NY, its the only way around these parts. And I don't care if its mold, its damn good...

And pie definitely beats cake...
 
As an authority on the topic heed my words.
1.There is absolutely nothing wrong with dipping wings in blue cheese.
2. If said wings are hot wings and the dipper dips for the sole reason of being able to eat the hottest hot wings they should be immediately smacked in the face my the person sitting to their right (so the smackers dominate hand may be used).
3. Only good blue cheese may be used. Even in Buffalo much of the blue cheese given out with wings is crap. If crappy blue cheese is served apon tasting confirmed with at least one other member of the party that said blue cheese is in fact crappy the following actions must be taken: 1. Use of the blue cheese must be immediately ceased. 2. Crappy blue cheese reciever may proceed into the kitchen to throw the blue cheese in the cooks face.
4. If someone uses ranch on their wings the person on the left of the individual will kick said person in the crotch.
This is the law.

There, now lock it down! ;). (frequent visitor to the area a decade or so back)
 
Jeez, I just went back and read all the posts hating on the dippin'. Wow, ok.. Call me a p**sy all you want, but to me wings require 3 flavors: Chicken (esp. chicken fat), wing sauce (not just hot sauce), and bleu cheese. If all you want is heat and an opportunity to prove what a bad ass you are, throw back a few shots of hot sauce.

In my opinion:
Breading on wings is wrong.
Boneless "wings" are wrong.
Hot wings that aren't hot are wrong.
Ranch dipping sauce is wrong.
Wing sauce that does not include butter is wrong.
Baked is better than fried.
Celery is mandatory.

There are precious few places around here that can make a decent hot wing. BTW, Clipper City makes a pretty good wing sauce.

HAH! oh man that's hilarious!:mug:

I'm glad to see bleu cheese took such a commanding lead. most places here give you ranch as the default and it annoys me to no end.
 
I don't understand the insanity of taking a perfectly delicious wing that is covered in a wonderfully high-sodium high-calorie sauce, and then dipping it in ANOTHER high-calorie high-fat sauce! When you dip a baby carrot or celery stick in dressing, that's perfectly understandable. You have something good for you but lacking in deliciousness, and something bad for you but sinfully good. Put a little of the latter onto the former and you've practically got an ethos to live by. Buffalo wings dipped in dressing is madness.

You said it pretty well I think.
 
Blue cheese all the way for me. I dont use it to mask the hottness or anything, as I dont even think that would work unless you are really soaking the wing good. However, it adds another element of flavor.

Sure, it may be another high fat, high calorie ingredient, but it tastes completely different. It fires off different taste buds. It is like different malts. Why add caramel malt to a beer when you already have other malts in there? Because it adds another layer of flavor.

For the record, I voted blue cheese before I even knew we were talking about wings. Ranch is a stupid dressing all around. I rarely use it. Not on salads or anything.
 
Bleu Cheese is the nasties! Ranch is da SHIZZLE!!

(note that I have only had bleu cheese once or twice at a restaurant, and that is my basis for comparison. I do have ranch on nearly everything I eat, so I am pretty sure I do like that.)
 
We serve our Buffalo Wings with bleu cheese dressing and celery.
Some people substitute ranch on their orders.
These are usually the same people that request ranch for dipping or slathering their pizza with as well.

I personally prefer Bleu Cheese on my Buffalo Wings.
