You will love these Crispy Ranch Chicken Thighs. We fixed the common recipe issues to give you perfectly seasoned, crunchy chicken every time. This is a family favorite you can trust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs very dry using paper towels. This step helps with crispiness.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, ranch seasoning mix, and black pepper.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken thighs. Rub the oil lightly over all surfaces.
  5. Dredge each chicken thigh completely in the flour mixture. Press the coating firmly onto the skin to make sure it adheres well.
  6. Place the coated chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared wire rack.
  7. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and the skin is deeply golden brown and crisp.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure your chicken skin is completely dry before oiling and coating for maximum crispness.
  • Do not skip the wire rack; it allows air to circulate under the chicken for even cooking.
  • If the coating starts to look too dark before the chicken is done, lightly tent the thighs with foil.
