How To Cook Chicken Thighs
Chicken thighs are simple to cook. I pan fry this recipe right on the stove-top, however you can bake them as well. Whatever you prefer. Season both sides of the chicken and make sure your oil is nice and hot before adding your chicken thighs, this will give them that nice crispy golden crust.
Add the bacon pieces and baby red potatoes. Try to find tiny little baby potatoes. They fit in the skillet much nicer.
Season the chicken and potatoes with Ranch Dressing seasoning mix. Add a few pinches of grated Parmesan Cheese too.
Garnish with some chopped fresh parsley and voila! Dinner is served.

I found it interesting that you state that baked chicken thighs are easy to cook. My son is off to college this year, so I have been helping him come up with meal plans that are easy to make, and still nutritious. I will send this over to him, so he can add it to the list of options.
