Ingredients
  

Chicken Thighs

  • 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.8 lb / 820 g)

Ranch Seasoning

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1 oz / 28 g)

Basting Mixture

  • 3 tbsp melted butter (45 g)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (15 ml)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (3 g)
  • 1 tsp onion powder (3 g)
  • 1 tsp paprika (2 g)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (1 g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (1 g, optional)

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley (optional, for finishing)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
  • Lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Place the chicken thighs in the baking dish, skin side up.

Mixing

  • In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Basting and Cooking

  • Brush the chicken thighs generously with the mixture.
  • Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, basting halfway through.
  • For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2 to 3 minutes.

Serving

  • Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure chicken thighs are at room temperature before baking. Experiment with ranch seasoning based on your preference for flavor intensity.
