It comes together in only 30 minutes and is baked so you can focus on the side dishes for the meal. Another perk is that it’s easy to clean up as well which is always a plus for those quick weeknight dinners.
Can you make your own seasoning?
You can make your own ranch seasoning if you’d like to control the ingredients and flavors a little more. You can mix up a whole batch to have on hand, or you’ll find instructions for making just enough for a recipe like this one. Alternatively, you can buy a packet of ranch seasoning.
How long does this dish take?
Since chicken thighs are pretty thin, and you bake them at a high temp, you’ll only need to cook them around 20 – 25 minutes. If you decide to lower the temperature to cook something along with it, you may need to increase the time a bit.
Always be sure to check that the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant read thermometer so you know it’s cooked all the way through.

How to Make Ranch Chicken Thighs
For easy clean up, you’ll want to prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Then measure out your homemade or bought ranch seasoning and set aside around one tablespoon. This will be used to season each individual chicken thigh.
Take about 1/2 teaspoon of the set aside seasoning and sprinkle it on the inside of each chicken thigh. Roll each thigh back up and place onto the baking sheet. Add some olive oil to the remaining ranch seasoning and add some garlic powder as well. This will turn into a paste-like substance that you’ll brush over the chicken thighs.
From here, you’ll just bake until each is cooked through which should take around 20-25 minutes. To get the chicken a little golden brown with a slight crisp, place under the broiler for about 5 minutes.
