Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Thighs:

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Seasoning Mix:

  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Make the Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, mix together ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the spice mix over the chicken, massaging it into the skin and meat for full flavor.
  5. Bake the Chicken: Arrange the thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
  6. Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.
