- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 package ranch seasoning mix
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix the olive oil with the ranch seasoning until well combined.
- Rub the seasoning mixture generously over each chicken thigh, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and add a sprinkle of salt and pepper, if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its juiciness. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
For a lighter option, use low-fat ranch seasoning. Pat the chicken dry before seasoning for crispy skin.
