Creating mouthwatering Ranch Chicken Thighs is easy when following these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
3. Create Marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the ranch dressing, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until combined.
4. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them well with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, but longer is better for more flavor.
5. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the marinated chicken thighs skin side up in a baking dish.
6. Bake Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown.
7. Let Rest: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and color.

By following these steps, you’ll create Ranch Chicken Thighs that are not only delicious but incredibly satisfying.
