Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the skin becomes crispy during cooking. Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the chicken thighs with olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken. Use your hands or tongs to rub the seasoning onto the thighs, making sure they are well coated.
Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an extra pop of color and flavor.
