Preheat the oven to 425°F. Arrange the chicken skin-side up on a rack over the baking sheet. Roast for 40–45 minutes until deeply golden and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer for best results. Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra crispy skin.
Nota
A meat thermometer is ideal to prevent overcooking.
