Chicken Thighs:
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Seasoning:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and rub to coat evenly.
- Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, pepper, and a pinch of salt.
- Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the spice mix over the chicken, massaging it into the skin and meat for full flavor.
- Bake: Arrange the thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake for 35–40 minutes at 400°F (200°C) until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
- Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley and serving hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- Make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken for doneness.
