We have a new favorite recipe in our house! My Simple Spicy Ranch Chicken in the Air Fryer is delicious! This new recipe came about after a shopping mistake. The day before I was making my 3 Envelope Pressure Cooker Roast I had added “Ranch Dressing Packet” to our AnyList app so Ron would pick it up on his daily visit to our Walmart Neighborhood Market. He brought the groceries home and put them away.
The next morning, as I double checked that I had everything I need to make dinner that night, I noticed that he had purchased a Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch Dressing Packet, not the regular one. He went back to the store for the correct item and I out the incorrect item away in the pantry for another day.
Another day finally came about 2 months later. I wanted to make some chicken in the air fryer of my Ninja Foodi for a quick dinner before we went out to a meeting. I looked in the cupboard and saw the Spicy Ranch Dressing Packet and a plan was formed. All I needed was this seasoning, about a pound of chicken tenders and a side dish. For my side dish I whipped up some Noodle-roni Fettucine Alfredo that Ron had gotten on BOGO at Publix. I prefer to make my own from scratch but this does fine for a quick dinner.
