How to Make Ranch Crusted Chicken
- Marinate 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts) in 1 cup ranch dressing for at least 1 hour (longer is better!).
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Dredge each marinated chicken piece in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Arrange the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest on paper towels for a couple of minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
