Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 8 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin on) Juicy and tender chicken thighs enhance flavor and moisture.
  • 3 Tbsp Ranch dressing mix Infuses a creamy deliciousness.
  • 1 spray Olive oil spray Brings out a crispy texture without extra calories.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl.
  2. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix evenly over the chicken.
  3. Toss the chicken thighs gently to ensure they're fully coated in the ranch mixture.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
  2. Lightly spray the top of the chicken thighs with olive oil spray.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Set the timer for 23 minutes.
  5. At the halfway mark (around 11-12 minutes), flip the chicken thighs over.

Notes

Consider marinating the chicken in the ranch dressing mix for a few hours or overnight for deeper flavor. Pairs well with fresh vegetables or garden salad.
