Hot Honey Ranch
If you are anything like me, you will absolutely love this hot honey ranch! I love a good hot sauce for just about anything. This hot sauce can be used as a dip, or you can put it on just about anything! My favorites are drizzling this stuff on my pizza or really any protein. Pair this with your favorite chicken and you have a knock-your-socks-off meal!
Why you’ll love this spicy ranch
- This is a combo of ranch, hot honey and chili crisp. What’s better than that!?
- Hot honey ranch can be used as a sauce to drizzle on your favorite meal, or it can be a dip! Whatever you prefer!
- The sweet honey, salty and spicy hot honey ranch is a sauce you will want to have in your refrigerator at all times. And it’s so easy to make!
Here’s what you’ll need to make it
- Thermometer – I used a candy thermometer, but a meat thermometer will work too. You just have to make sure you heat your oil to about 250 degrees. Any hotter and you will burn your spices.
- Sauce Pan – Something large enough to heat the avocado oil.
- Spatula – I used this to stir the oil and then the oil and spice mixture.
- Medium Bowl – Make this bowl large enough so the oil doesn’t overflow when you add it to the spices.
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Whisk – Use the whisk to mix the yogurt and honey to the oil and spice mixture.

Ingredients & substitutions
- Avocado oil – You can also use any oil that will withstand a high heat.
- Red pepper flakes – This recipe calls for 1/2 cup. If you prefer a less-spicy sauce, I would cut the red pepper flakes in half.
- Sesame seeds – This gives the sauce a nice texture and mild, nutty flavor.
- Garlic – I used fresh, minced garlic. It turns out the best when you add the hot oil.
- Salt – You need it. Don’t skip it.
- Ranch seasoning – This gives it that ranch flavor that you want.
- Greek yogurt – I used plain Greek yogurt. It gives this recipe a nice, creamy texture.
- Honey – The honey adds a nice sweet and salty vibe to this sauce.
