Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Trim the ends of the green beans. Place potatoes and green beans on the sheet pan, spreading them in a single layer.
- Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together Sriracha sauce and ranch dressing until well combined.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables. Brush the chicken generously with the Sriracha-ranch mixture, ensuring even coverage.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute, ensuring moist chicken.
- Serve hot, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the chicken and vegetables. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Tips
- Pat the chicken thighs completely dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness and beautiful golden-brown skin.
- Use parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Arrange vegetables in a single layer to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or dried herbs to your seasoning mix.
- Check chicken temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking to keep the meat juicy and tender.
- For a lighter version, you can use Greek yogurt instead of ranch dressing.
- Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of Sriracha sauce to your preference.
