Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Combine the salt, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, rosemary and baking powder in a small bowl.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels - it's important to dry them extremely well. Place the wings in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the wings, tossing to evenly coat. Arrange the wings onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 1 hour at 425˚F, flipping every 20 minutes. Then, keeping the chicken wings in the oven, increase the temperature to 450u00b0F and bake for an additional 5 minutes, flipping halfway through until the wings are crispy and browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
While the wings bake, make the ranch dressing. Whisk or blend together the ingredients for the dressing starting with 3 Tablespoons of buttermilk. Check the consistency u2013 if it's too thick for your liking, add the additional 1 Tablespoon of buttermilk. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Serve the wings with ranch dressing, celery and carrots.

Notes

Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: You can marinate the chicken wings up to 3 days in advance and store in the refrigerator. Marinated chicken wings freeze well for for up to 3 months. The ranch can be made up to 1 week in advance. Chicken: This recipe calls for pre-cut chicken wings. You can use any cut of chicken such as drumsticks or thighs – if it's more than 2 pounds of chicken, you may need to double the recipe. Buttermilk: If you don't have buttermilk you can make your own by placing 4 Tablespoons of milk in a small bowl with 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Give it a stir and let sit for 5 minutes before using. You can also use milk in place of buttermilk. Greek Yogurt: Any fat % of Greek yogurt works, just make sure it's plain. Dill: If using dried dill, reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon. Rosemary: If using dried rosemary, reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon.
