Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 chicken thighs
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the chicken thighs evenly.
- Season Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken thighs with olive oil, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat each piece well with the seasoning.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Bake: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through with crispy edges.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving.
Notes
- You can use bone-in, skin-on thighs for extra flavor and moisture.
- If you prefer a crisper skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
