For the Ranch Fried Chicken
Method
Preparation for Ranch Fried Chicken
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, ranch seasoning mix, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they're fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with additional ranch seasoning if desired.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, coating thoroughly. Fry the chicken in batches for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
