Pro Tips
For the red ranch sauce, I love to use Ken’s Steak House Country French Dressing with Orange Blossom Honey. This is not a sponsored post. I truly love this dressing on this sandwich and feel like it is super close to the perfect taste of the original sandwich. Some readers love to use regular Catalina Dressing.
Recipe FAQs
No, Arby’s Sauce and Red Ranch sauce are not the same. Red Ranch sauce is sweeter and Arby’s sauce is a more tangy sauce and slightly spicy.

Hi Anthony, I'm sorry, I do not have a recipe for Wendy's Hot Honey Sauce and I have never tasted it before either so I'm not much help there. I was going to suggest trying some bottled ones but it looks like you've already done that. A quick web search looked like some people were selling the packets of Wendy's hot honey sauce on Ebay so maybe that is an option for you. Good luck, I hope you find the recipe you're looking for!
