When two of your favorite flavors combine, you get these zesty and tangy Buffalo Ranch Chicken Wings. The wings are grilled until perfectly charred on the Pit Boss then tossed in a homemade Buffalo sauce that gets a little help from ranch seasoning. The ranch adds depth and tones down the heat of the Buffalo for a truly mouthwatering bite.
