In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat oil over medium. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until golden, turning occasionally. Transfer chicken to prepared baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes or until chicken is done (170°F for breasts; at least 175°F for thighs and drumsticks). If desired, cover and chill up to 24 hours. Serve with additional ranch dressing.
