Cheddar Ranch Chicken Thighs

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F and season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Set chicken thighs aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine sour cream, sharp shredded cheddar cheese, and the ranch seasoning mixture, garlic, and green onions.

Step 3

Drizzle the avocado oil in a 10.25” or larger cast iron skillet. Place chicken thighs in the skillet.

Step 4

Cover the chicken thighs with sour cream and cheese mixture. Press the pork rind crumbs on top of the mixture to ensure they stick.

Step 5

Cook the chicken for 20-25 minutes, until the internal temperature of the thickest part reaches at least 165°F. Broil for 5-7 minutes on high to crisp the top of the chicken thighs until golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately.
