Step By Step

Ingredients (5)

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 teaspoons Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix Shaker
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

Steps (4)

Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 425°F.
Step 2
On a cutting board pat dry the chicken thighs, then season with Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix Shaker and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
In a large, oven-safe skillet warm the olive oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the garlic from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down into the skillet, then sear for 6–8 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden brown. Turn the chicken over, then return the garlic to the pan. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast on oven middle rack until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 15 minutes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TommyC from This crispy chicken with Ranch flavor is awesome! I have always loved fried chicken cooked in a cast iron skillet like grandma used to make it and you add the Hidden Valley Ranch flavor to it and the taste is out of this world good!!
