Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 medium roasting chicken, about 3 pounds, cut into 8 pieces
1 packet (1 ounce) Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix
1 cup unseasoned dry bread crumbs or cornflake crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine seasoning dressing mix with bread crumbs in a gallon-size Glad® Food Storage Bag. Add chicken pieces and seal bag. Shake the bag to evenly coat chicken. Bake chicken on ungreased baking pan at 375 degrees F for 50 minutes or until juices run clear or an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will ensure that the chicken has enough room to cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Flip the chicken halfway through cooking: This will ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Ranch crispy chicken is best served hot and crispy.
