Ranch Chicken Thighs

Ranch Chicken Thighs

Easy and foolproof recipe. Season chicken, marinate, and grill. I am looking forward to making this but I will use a shortcut for the Ranch Dressing. Servings are up to you and not specified, figure 1-2 thighs per person with a side such as potato salad and fresh corn on the cob for a complete meal. Photo courtesy of Ed Crean. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.

Ingredients
  

  • chicken thighs, amount is up to you
  • seasoning, up to you, chicken rub, salt and pepper, etc.
  • Ranch dressing, amount needed is up to the amount of chicken used, OR use a shortcut

Instructions
 

  • For the chicken, use thighs then most of the pieces are uniform in size, if you use legs and thighs, you will need to check the grill more often. Go with quarters then separate the thighs, keep the legs for another recipe, this will give you bigger thighs.
  • Season chicken as you desire, salt and pepper, with a rub, etc. Marinate in Ranch Dressing for 4-5 hours in the fridge.
  • Light your grill, if using gas, go for about 180 C, if using charcoal, go for a medium hot burn but once the coals are hot, move the coals to one side of the grill. Prep your grill with some olive oil on the grill, place chicken on the grill on the indirect heat side, the side with no coals or flame under it, close the lid for 30-40 minutes. Check at 30 minutes and continue cooking if not done. Serve with a side such as potato salad and corn on the cob.

Notes

Chicken quarters run about 60 Baht/kilo, 6 to 8 quarters will be about a kilo. The Ranch Dressing can be pricey as in import item, go with a shortcut to reduce that cost to about 1/4 of what the import is, or less. Well under $1 per meal per person, including fresh corn on the cob and potato salad.
