- Ranch-Marinated Grilled ChickenThis quick and simple marinade might just result in the best grilled chicken we’ve ever tasted. We like to make our own Ranch dressing, but it’s not a requirement. What IS a requirement is to make a lot, because it’s going to go fast.
- Homemade Ranch DressingCreamy, tangy and zesty, there’s a reason why Ranch Dressing is America’s favorite condiment. And while the bottled stuff is fine, nothing beats the flavor of homemade. And it only takes a few minutes to make!
