What’s in the Hot Ranch Big Dip
The sauce combines creamy, tangy ranch with savory garlic and herb flavor, finishing with a kick of chili pepper heat. KFC CMO Melissa Cash said the brand tested multiple versions before landing on the final recipe, aiming for a balance between classic ranch flavor and noticeable spice. “Great ranch should be enjoyed, not rationed, which is why we made our Hot Ranch Big Dip twice the size,” Cash said.
Double Crispy Hot Wings Are Back
Returning alongside the new dip are Double Crispy Hot Wings, a fan-favorite item that previously appeared on KFC’s menu. The wings are crispy and spicy, designed to complement the creamy heat of the Hot Ranch Big Dip.

IShowSpeed and KFC: A Partnership Years in the Making
IShowSpeed’s partnership with KFC grew out of a genuine, long-running fandom. The streaming personality has documented his love of the chain across his channels for years, from trying KFC at locations around the world to his viral reaction when KFC surprised him with a lifetime supply. KFC cited that authentic history as the reason Speed was a natural fit to front the Hot Ranch Big Dip Energy campaign.
