Baked Ranch Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2. 2Cover a Baking sheet in foil, nonstick side up.
3. 3Place the chicken thighs on the baking sheet, fattest side up.
4. 4Generously season with salt and pepper.
5. 5Bake Chicken for 25 minutes, when skin has started to crisp.
6. 6In a small bowl, combine the dressing mix with the olive oil and minced garlic. If needed, add lemon juice to thin mixture.
7. 7Brush the ranch and oil mixture over the chicken thighs.
8. 8Continue to cook chicken in oven until crispy and golden brown, and internal temperature reads 165 degrees.
9. 9To check the temperature, use an instant-read food thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a few of the largest chicken thighs, not touching bone.
10. 10To get a tiny bit more crunch, broil for 5 minutes - watching chicken closely so it doesn't burn.
