Ranch-Style Thighs Recipe

Ranch-Style Thighs Recipe Rating 5

My family prefers oven-fried chicken to the deep-fried variety. Creamy ranch dressing makes this wonderfully crunchy chicken tender and juicy.

Yummm! So easy and delicious. I didn't have any cornmeal so I just used italian seasoned bread crumbs and added some more seasoning to it. My husband loved it! Said it was the best chicken he's had in along time!

This was fast and easy to make and the coating was very tasty. I always appreciate recipes that use ingredients that I have on hand.

Definitely a keeper! These leg pieces came out tender on the inside, crispy and flavorful on the outside. I really appreciate how this recipe uses ingredients I almost always have on hand. Easy to prepare and throw in the oven on a busy day. I put the Parmesan cheese in with the ranch dressing by mistake, but it still came out great -- maybe even a little crispier on the coating. I think you could easily use plain mayonnaise as your dip and add powdered ranch dressing dip to the breading to make this even easier -- or make up some of the breading mix ahead and keep on hand.

I've tried this a few times now, and we love it! In fact, I used a dill ranch dressing the first time, and I preferred that. Very easy, tasty way to prepare chicken thighs!
