Tips & Tricks (5)
- Ranch Spice Enhancement 🌶️Toast the dry ranch seasoning in a dry skillet for 30-45 seconds before coating the chicken to intensify its flavor profile and bring out deeper, more complex notes.
- Cast Iron Mastery 🍳Preheat your cast-iron skillet for at least 3-4 minutes before adding oil to ensure an even, consistent blackening effect on the chicken thighs.
- Moisture Lock Technique 💦Pat chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to guarantee maximum crispy exterior and prevent steaming instead of searing.
- Skin-Side Strategy 🔪If using skin-on chicken thighs, start cooking skin-side down to render fat and create an incredibly crispy, golden-brown crust.
- Seasoning Layer Technique 🧂Create a uniform seasoning coating by mixing the ranch powder with a small amount of cornstarch or flour to help it adhere better and create a more even crust.
