Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Plus a splash for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional for garnish) Use to enhance the presentation and flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to achieve a crispy texture.
  2. In a bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the seasoning blend all over each thigh, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil.
  2. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet, cooking for about 6-8 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  3. Flip the thighs, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
Serving
  1. Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
  2. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding cayenne or red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix. Ensure not to crowd the pan for optimal cooking.
