Popeyes Dipping Sauce

How to Make Popeyes Blackened Ranch Sauce

There is no cooking required to make this warm ranch dip. With others that have sugar in it you do have to boil it a bit to dissolve all the ingredients together, not here. In just 5 minutes with some time for it to cool in the refrigerator it is a great addition to your dinner plates, especially when cooking Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Nuggets at home.

Blackened Ranch

You could call this copycat Popeye’s blackened sauce a version of Warm Ranch Dressing really, but with a real kick. You can of course adjust how “spicy” it becomes with how much blackening and pepper you add in there. A little goes a long way with that stuff my friends so have a light hand and taste often until it is just right for your tastebuds.

What is difference between ranch and blackened ranch?

The latter offers a heat level that the other does not have. You could in fact make bottled ranch dressing blackened at home though. It won’t have quite the punch that starting off homemade but it would be quick if you are in a pinch. You would just add the blackening, salt and pepper listed below and whisk. Adjust as you taste until it is perfect for you.

What are the ingredients in Popeyes Blackened Ranch?

Now we used sour cream as a dairy thickener but you could use Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative too. You can find either one dairy free as well if that is better for your tummy. I have done this when making our Empanada Dipping Sauce and there isn’t a huge difference.

• Mayonnaise is a great base for lots of dips out there, Best Foods is better than Miracle Whip y’all
• Sour cream will give it a bit of tang, use full fat y’all
• Buttermilk keeps it thick but will make it creamier and thin it out a bit
• Parsley can be freshly diced fine or dried
• Salt and pepper can be adjusted more at the end as desired.
• Onion powder is a great add in
• Dill is one of my favorites and is way better freshly diced vs. dried dill
• Garlic powder goes with all the things
• Chives diced fine are optional but give it some color and texture
• 1 tbsp blackened seasoning can be adjusted for heat level desired

It is similar to our KFC Buffalo Ranch Recipe where you get heat in with that creamy dressing you love.

Use a bowl with a lid if you can and a whisk to make everything nice and smooth. Add extra mayonnaise to thicken if you wish. You want to refrigerate it in an airtight jar or closed bowl for about 30 minutes so it is nice and cold. Great with healthy Boiled Chicken Tenders carrots sticks too!
