Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Blackened Ranch Chicken Thighs.
Step 1
To start your delicious chicken thighs, grab a cast iron skillet and warm up some vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 2
While the oil is heating, take your chicken thighs and sprinkle one tablespoon of dry ranch dressing mix, along with a pinch of salt and a dash of freshly cracked black pepper, on one side of each thigh.
Step 3
Flip them over and give the other side the same flavorful treatment.
Step 4
Once your skillet is nice and hot, carefully place the chicken thighs skin-side down into the sizzling oil.
Step 5
Let them cook undisturbed for about 12 minutes; this will help you achieve that beautifully blackened skin that everyone loves.
Step 6
After the time is up, gently turn the chicken thighs over and continue cooking until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, which should take another 12 minutes.
Step 7
To ensure they’re perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Enjoy the mouthwatering aroma filling your kitchen as you prepare this tasty dish!.
