Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the skin crisps up during baking.
In a small bowl, mix the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil, then coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
Feel free to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer, but reduce the cooking time.
Serve with mashed potatoes or a simple salad for a complete meal.
