Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Pat chicken dry. Rub with olive oil, then coat evenly with ranch mix, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Place chicken on a baking sheet or in an oven-safe skillet, skin-side up.

Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 165°F and skin is crispy.

Let rest 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve with your favorite sides.

Optional skillet method:
Sear chicken skin-side down for 4–5 mins, flip, then transfer to oven to finish baking.
