Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4-6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup aromatic ranch seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or mozzarella) for gooey texture
- 1/2 cup creamy sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil to enhance flavors
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the chicken thighs under cool water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, mix the ranch seasoning with the olive oil to create a paste.
- Rub this mixture all over the chicken thighs.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream and half of the shredded cheese.
- Spread this creamy mixture over the seasoned chicken thighs.
Baking
- Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish with space between each.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- For extra crispy skin, switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
Serving
- Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving. For extra crunch, mix pork rinds into the cheese topping.
