Italian Dressing Chicken

Step 1

Blend Italian dressing with a stick blender or in an upright blender until emulsified (when the oil is no longer separated and it all looks the same throughout).

Step 2

Place chicken thighs in single layer, skin side up, into a 9 x 11 roasting pan. It’s fine if they are packed in tightly, just make sure they are in a single layer and not stacked on top of one another.

Step 3

Cover with Italian dressing, lifting each chicken thigh to make sure sauce is on all sides.

Step 4

Bake on middle rack of oven at 350 degrees uncovered for 45 - 50 minutes, or until chicken reaches a safe internal temperature (165 F).

Step 5

If using a broiler safe dish, turn on broiler for 1 - 3 minutes to brown and crisp skin. (Watch carefully to avoid burning).

Step 6

Garnish with chopped parsley or green onion.
