Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Lightly brush chicken thighs with olive oil or melted butter, then coat them in the ranch seasoning mixture.
