Former Wingstop General Manager here.<br>This is the exact recipe, that we use in the back the night before any usual day.<br>That being said, i've been blessed with having this ranch regularly in my fridge for years and treated it like buried treasure.<br>Thanks for ruining my secret.

Finally a content creator who has understood the correct recipe for WingStop Ranch. I have to leave a comment on every recipe video explaining the fine details for the ACTUAL recipe (heavy duty vs regular mayo, etc.). Huge props to you for actually doing your research, Ian. Thank you! <br><br>That said, here are some sauce recipe requests for the sequel to this video:<br><br>鈥ave Sauce (Dave's Hot Chicken)<br>鈥reamy Jalape帽o (Taco Bell) <br>鈥lackened Ranch (Popeye's) <br>鈥ig Mac Sauce (McDonald's)<br>鈥ronco Berry (Arby's)

What I've realized, ironically, about trying to recreate a lot of restaurant sauces is that you want to avoid the high quality, consumer brand ingredients in favor of the bulkiest, cheapest, wholesale brands that the restaurant almost certainly uses lol

Worked at Chik-fil-A for years. The sauce is equal parts mayo (the kind he is using), yellow mustard, honey, and sweet baby rays BBQ sauce. that's it.

I used to work at Raising Cannes, and made the sauce in store. It was Hellmanns, Heinz ketchup, that same brand of woster sauce, and then a bag of seasonings was added. The seasoning bag definitely contained salt, pepper, garlic power, but it had other seasonings I couldn't figure out. At the time I had tried to replicate it at home with the same ratio and ingredients but it was always a bit off. Online recipes incorrectly add lemon juice so often that maybe there is citric acid powder in the seasoning...

As a Raising Cane's (Redacted company position) I can tell you that your Cane's sauce is VERY close to our recipe, we make dozens of tubs of those every single day and on a busy day, we still run out.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2N3LIP2jXc&t=660">11:00</a> as a chipotle worker, this is practically the exact recipe we use!<br><br>we make it in 60oz batches, but the general recipe is:<br>10 oz red wine vinegar<br>6-8 oz honey (depending on how much you like)<br>2 tbsp of adobo<br>1/4 cup water & salt (i personally suggest less salt)<br><br>then you blend these for 20-30 seconds, and then leave the blender running and add oil while everything blends (we put a LOT of oil, about 3-4 cups+ of sunflower oil)<br><br>at the end it is 1 tbsp oregano and 2tsp black pepper <br><br>enjoy!

I used to work at Denny's - We made our own house dressings. I saw you whip out the gallon of Mayo, and knew you had the right one, Baby!!! Something about that industrial Mayo that hits different...and try pickle juice instead of buttermilk it's delish !!!! P.S. - Homemade Ranch with Buttermilk only has a 72 hr shelf life...Sub water, or pickle juice for longer shelf life.
