Ranch Chicken Recipe – Crispy and Delicious
We always have a few packets of dry Ranch dressing tucked away for days when we don’t have a lot of time to cook.
Chicken legs or thighs works really well with this quick recipe, and at a very reasonable cost.
The ranch dressing packet is mixed with the crunchy goodness of Panko-style bread crumbs, giving the chicken a moist inside with a crunchy outside.
Soak the chicken legs in milk for about ten minutes and then roll them around in the bread crumb mixture. It’s just that easy!
