Ranch Fried Chicken

We love this recipe!  It's not the most healthy meal you've ever had, but if you like Ranch, it's a good one.

Ingredients:
1-2 pkgs. of Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch (which you'll need mayo and buttermilk to make the ranch)
Flour
1 pkg of chicken either breasts or tenders (tenders cook faster)
vegetable oil (or whatever oil you cook with)

Directions:
 Once you've made your ranch, place chicken into a gallon size ziploc bag.  Pour in enough ranch to coat the chicken.  Place in fridge to marinate.  You can have it in there for as long as you'd like but a minimum of 10 mins.  
Pour enough oil into a pan to cover the bottom.  You don't want the oil too hot, so around medium heat would work.  (HINT: To know when your oil is ready to cook with, place a wooden spoon into the oil and if you see bubbles around the spoon it's ready!!)
In the mean time, get out two bowls, one with ranch and the other with flour.  Once your chicken is done marinating, place chicken in flour.  Shake off any extra flour then place in ranch and then once more in flour.  Repeat for remaining chicken.
Then cook your chicken.  Depending on how much chicken you have, you may need to clean out your pan and heat up new oil because some of the batter will be  in your pan.

Serve with remaining ranch!!  Enjoy!
