Ingredients

Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create delicious Ranch Chicken Thighs:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispy skin.
3. Season: In a large bowl, combine ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. Coat Chicken: Drizzle olive oil over the chicken thighs and rub it in. Then, sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly on both sides of the thighs, ensuring they’re well-coated.
5. Arrange in a Dish: Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up in a baking dish.
6. Bake: Put the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Crisp It Up (Optional): If you desire extra crispy skin, broil the chicken thighs for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
8. Rest: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken thighs for a pop of color.
These simple steps will lead you to a satisfying meal that you’ll want to make over and over again.
