I don’t recall if I first saw my mother or a relative use salad dressing while cooking meat as a child but I do know that I took that cooking tip / trick with me well into my adulthood. Cooking with oil based salad dressing is a game changer. It acts as a quick , no fuss marinade and really takes the flavor up on your meats.
This recipe is for my Italian dressing chicken thighs and potatoes – and it is absolutely delicious!
My favorite Italian dressings come from Ken’s Steakhouse and Wish Bone, but feel free to use your favorite brand of Italian dressing.
As always if you make this let me know what you think!
