Have you ever been tailgating? Usually tailgating is done in a parking lot, near your car right before the big game. Sometimes, you just want to stay home and go low-key with your game day spread. You can cut out the middle man and just make it all happen at home. As much as I love going out and meeting my friends for a social gathering, sometimes this social butterfly just wants to chill at home with her family without turning on the oven or the stove, grub on some wings and watch the game in her yoga pants.
Everyone knows I'm a professional private chef and I suspect everyone thinks I'd never in a million years purchase prepared wings from the deli. You are wrong, sir. Very wrong. I need a break from being chained to the stove, too. As a matter of fact, you may find me in line at the Walmart Deli asking the clerk for a "sample" of a wing or two before I do my shopping. I'm very familiar with these wings. And soon, perhaps you will be too.
I do, however, find it mandatory to make my own dips to go with the wings. I can't 100% throw caution to the wind!
So go on. Go ahead and create a great game time experience with deli wings, hot wings, or even General Tso's wings from Walmart Deli for Tyson. You can also choose the pick 3 bucket if you can't decide which wing your family or your yoga pants will like best. You get to be a #GameTimeHero with Walmart Deli wings and this trio of Triple Cool Ranch Dips. A lot of people call Ranch dressing "The Ketchup of the South" because we dip everything in it. French fries, pizza, vegetables, potato chips, hot dogs, and yes--our chicken wings, too.
I went to Walmart and grabbed a couple pounds of bone-in buffalo wings and hot wings. They're so easy to pick up. Whether you're the host or a guest, everyone will be happy to see you with these wings in-tow. The hot wings are easily paired with this trio of cool ranch dips: peppercorn, basil and classic. Each dip has the same base but with a little extra twist, you get to create three unique flavor profiles.
The peppercorn is spicy, and adds a little kick to the tangy flavor of the ranch.
The basil is earthy, and my personal favorite.
The classic ranch, of course, will satisfy any dip lover.
Let me show you how to make the Triple Cool Ranch Dips:
