Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 5 medium chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ounce ranch seasoning (dry ranch seasoning powder, about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken thighs.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken thighs on a rimmed baking sheet, skin-side up.
  5. Bake the chicken thighs for 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
  6. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to dry the chicken thoroughly for crispy skin.
  • Feel free to customize with fresh herbs for added flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to four days.
