Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Arrange them in a baking dish.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil, mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up in the baking dish and slather with the creamy ranch glaze.
  4. Roast the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  6. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
