This recipe was pretty good. I used chicken breasts instead and the meat was sooo juicy.I marinated the meat over night and while I was at work. I added mrs dash garlic and herb season salt to the potatoes and onions and then sprinkles some over top of the chicken. Also used the whole bag of cheese. Next time I will use more bacon. I also didnt have parsley, next time I may try that too.

Very good flavor! I wasn't sure about the thighs but they were excellent. I love red potatoes so this will be a keeper. I did add buffalo sauce to the ranch and couldn't taste it, so I might add more than 1/2 tsp next time, like the magazine said. Overall, was very flavorful and our family loved it. Even my picky 2 yr old.

The taste was pretty good, however, it was entirely TOO greasy for me! I substituted turkey bacon and used less cheese. I removed skin and most of the fat. I think the thighs are just too fatty.

My whole family, including our children, enjoyed this recipe. My only comment would be that it takes a long time to prepare and bake.

Hubby is an old-fashioned eater. Doesn't care for things too spiced. Just likes his food plain and simple and this fits the bill. Good use of thigh meat as breast meat might get too dry. Potatoes with bacon and cheese would also make a great side dish without the chicken.

This was delicious and a hit with my kids; I substituted olive oil for the bacon grease to fry the potatoes; I also sprinkled the potatoes with seasoned salt and pepper and some parmesan. The addition of some wing sauce to the ranch really made it great.
