  • Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and cut in half, if desired. Place the chicken into a large bowl.

  • Season the thighs with garlic salt and pour the ranch dressing on top. Using your hands, massage the chicken until the seasoning is evenly distributed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 6 hours (overnight is preferred).
