Ingredients
  

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 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
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry and place in a large bowl.
  • Drizzle olive oil over chicken and coat evenly.
  • Mix ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, pepper, and salt. Sprinkle over chicken and massage into meat.
  • Arrange thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Let rest for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

Letting the chicken rest before serving helps retain juiciness and flavor.
