Chicken Thighs:
- 6 chicken thighs, bone-in, with skin on
- black pepper, to taste
Ranch Seasoning Mix:
- 1 1 oz. packet dry ranch salad dressing mix
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, to thin mixture if needed
- 1 clove garlic, pressed
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Cover a baking sheet with foil, nonstick side up.
- Place the chicken thighs on the baking sheet, fattest side up. Generously season with salt and pepper.
- Bake chicken for 25 minutes until the skin has started to crisp.
- In a small bowl, combine the dressing mix with olive oil and minced garlic. Add lemon juice to thin the mixture if needed.
- Brush the ranch and oil mixture over the chicken thighs.
- Continue to cook the chicken in the oven until crispy, golden brown, and internal temperature reads 165 degrees.
- To 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.
- For extra crunch, broil for 5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
