Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. These are the main ingredients used in this recipe. Spray a shallow jelly roll type pan with non stick cooking spray & set aside till needed.
- 2. Using a bowl or reclosable bag, Combine Parmesan cheese with the Panko bread crumbs along with the spices and Dry ranch dressing mix packages. Shake to blend together.
- 3. These are the 2 Boneless skinless chicken Breast that I cut into 3 pieces each. When you can make a meal for 6 for under five dollars you are doing good.
- 4. Add the Ranch dressing to a platter or plate. Set aside till needed.
- 5. Measure out about half of the Panko crumb mixture onto a plate, pan or platter. Repeat as needed. The reasoning behind this is, if you have some of the mixture left over, you can store it in the freezer for next time, and it has not been contaminated with the wet chicken pieces.
- 6. Coat each piece of chicken breast with the ranch dressing by brushing it on or dredging it in the dressing on all sides. Allow excess to drip off.
- 7. Now place the coated chicken Breast into the seasoned bread crumbs, and coat all sides. Then place into shallow baking pan. Repeat until all the pieces of chicken have been coated with the bread crumb mixture.
- 8. Place pan in preheated 400 degree F. oven and bake for 45 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken is golden brown and crispy. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy.

DOUBLE-DIPPED RANCH-BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS
We have all heard of or at least tried chicken coated with ranch salad dressing, and while the dressing adds moisture, it also adds extra calories. By using dried ranch seasoning and chicken thighs you can still get the flavor and moisture!

Steps:
- Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels. In a shallow platter, combine the buttermilk, water, and red pepper sauce. Soak the chicken pieces, turn to coat, then cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. If time allows, marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours because the buttermilk promotes tenderness. Place flour in a shallow platter. Season it by mixing in salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, paprika, and cayenne. Roll the marinated chicken pieces in the flour, a few at a time, until well coated. Then, dip chicken in the buttermilk bath again followed by another coat of seasoned flour. Allow the chicken to sit in the flour and dry out while preparing the oil, this will help the coating stay on better. The buttermilk will keep absorbing the seasoned flour, which then fries up to form a crunchy crust. Heat oil in a large electric skillet to 350 degrees F. There should be about 1-inch of fat in the pan. Carefully add the chicken pieces in a single layer, skin side down. Do not crowd the pan or the temperature will plummet; make sure the fat continues to bubble around the chicken. Fry for 5 minutes, then turn the pieces over and fry the other side 5 minutes. Turn again, frying a total of 15 minutes. The turning will produce a golden-crisp skin with even color. Remove chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Do not put hot chicken directly in a bowl or container, the air can not circulate and the steam will cause the crust to fall off. Serve immediately or cool to room temperature.
Tips:
- To ensure crispy skin, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before seasoning and baking.
- For a more flavorful coating, marinate the chicken thighs in the ranch dressing for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the chicken thighs in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- If you like a crispy crust, broil the chicken thighs for a few minutes at the end of the baking time.
- Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
Double-dipped ranch baked chicken thighs are a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. With a crispy coating and juicy interior, these chicken thighs are a hit with both kids and adults. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad, for a complete and satisfying meal.
