Description
Ranch Chicken Thighs: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Chicken Thighs: Remove the marinated chicken thighs from the refrigerator and place them in the prepared baking dish, skin side up.
- Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle a little olive oil over the chicken thighs for added flavor and crispiness.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
- Broil for Extra Crispiness: If desired, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to achieve an extra crispy skin. Keep a close eye to prevent burning!
- Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve: Enjoy the deliciously seasoned Ranch Chicken Thighs as part of your meal.
