Baked Chicken Thighs with Ranch Dressing
July 11, 2023
Often overlooked in favor of extra-lean chicken breast or fun drumsticks, chicken thighs can actually be one of the most flavorful parts of the bird. Plus, chicken thighs are often less expensive than other premium cuts, making them the ideal choice for a big family dinner, prepping weekly lunches, or holiday meals.
In this easy recipe, baked chicken thighs get a glow-up with the addition of our creamy, cool, no-dairy Ranch Dressing. With a dreamy formula lightly flavored with herbs, this delicious dressing & marinade cooks up into a creamy sauce that gives the chicken skin an extra boost of flavor and crispness. Pair it with herbed new potatoes, crispy air-fryer Brussels sprouts, or cauliflower rice for a hearty, family-friendly meal.

Add zippy, creamy, tangy flavor to skin-on chicken thighs by drizzling with ranch dressing before baking. All it takes is about 40 minutes in a hot oven, plus two minutes on broil to crisp the skin and the main dish for dinner is done!

Directions
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Put chicken thighs in an oven-safe casserole dish. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place the skin side up in the casserole dish and baste with the ranch dressing.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165ºF.
For crispy chicken skin, turn the oven to broil. Place the casserole dish under the broiler (top rack) for 2–3 minutes.
