Ranch Chicken Thighs
Needed a quick & easy weeknight meal. This is adapted from an old Taste of Home magazine. The chicken is tasty & juicy, with a nice crunchy crust. You won't miss the skin!
ETA -- some say this is too bland. The ranch dressing is not enough seasoning. I do add season salt to taste (Nature's Seasonings) to the bread crumb mixture for more flavor. Hopefully as a cook, you will know what to add to suit you and your family's taste.

I can't get over how easy and totally delicious these chicken thighs were. Dipping the thighs in the Ranch dressing is genius. The coating was very nice too. Gave them a little crunch. Thanks Kelly. A new enthusiastic family fav. UPDATE: Sorry, I forgot the stars. So here it is again--same review but with stars. ;) -
I scaled this recipe to feed 10 , I left the skin on. This recipe was perfect. I have very picky eaters and one that doesn't like meat. They all ate it , loved it and called it heaven on a plate.

Kelly, this is a great way to cook chicken thighs. I used boneless, skinless thighs. The coating was crunchy and adhered well. The chicken meat was very moist and tender. Kudos for the idea of dipping in ranch dressing. It adds a lot to the flavor and moistness. More than satisfied my family of six. Thanks!!

Absolutely delicious! I took the suggestions of a couple of reviewers and used Panko bread crumbs and added about a teaspoon of Smoked Paprika - Excellent! Flavor was fantastic! I added a little salt later as I like it as a flavor booster and my honeybunny doesn't so if you feel it needs a little boost you can try that. I thought it was a wonderful recipe, thanks for sharing!!!

I don't know about the one person who didn't like this... I think it's great. I've made it with the skin off, bone in & boneless skinless and i've done it with breasts.. (advise cutting them in half) I've done it with blue chhese, with ranch & with chunky garlic ceasar.. I think I added extra seasonong, because I am so used to breading & baking that I just always add paprika & cracked black pepper. Don't shoot the poster if you like things spicier, just add more spice. It's a good recipe. One less dish than the flour egg & crumb as the dressing is the first 2 steps. Thank-you Kiwi...Oh, right, you're from Kentucky, not New Zealand ...thanks KeyWee. Good dish..delish!
