Instructions
Creating BBQ Ranch Chicken is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine ½ cup of barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
4. Place Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the refrigerator, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
5. Add More Sauce: Pour the remaining ½ cup of barbecue sauce over the chicken for an additional flavor boost.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
7. Baste: For a caramelized finish, baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through the cooking time.
8. Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
9. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken and drizzle with additional ranch dressing if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
These steps will guide you in creating a flavorful BBQ Ranch Chicken that is sure to impress.
