Ingredients

Hot Honey Ranch Sauce Ingredients

  • ½ cup (115 g) sour cream, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (113 g) honey
  • 2 tablespoons garlic chili oil
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the sour cream, honey, garlic chili oil, ranch seasoning mix, chopped fresh dill, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until you have a smooth, evenly blended sauce with the flavors well incorporated.
  3. Store Properly: Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to one week.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the sauce cold straight from the fridge or warm it slightly if preferred before serving as a dip or drizzle over your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Use garlic chili oil to add a smoky garlic flavor and heat; substitute with regular chili oil if unavailable.
  • Fresh dill gives a bright herbaceous note; dried dill can be used but reduce quantity by half.
  • Keep the sauce refrigerated and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
  • This sauce pairs excellently with fried chicken, roasted vegetables, sandwiches, or as a salad dressing.
