Directions:

1. Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Let the chicken pieces sit out of the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes to take the chill off.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F
3. Rub oil on the bottom of roasting pan. Oil and season the chicken with pepper, and desired herbs and place in pan. 
4. Arrange the chicken pieces in the pan so that all the pieces are skin-side up, and the largest pieces (the breasts) are in the center of the pan. Allow for room between the pieces.
5. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 400°F then lower the heat to 350°F and bake for and additional 10-30 minutes more until the juices run clear (not pink) when poked with a sharp knife and the internal temperature of the chicken breasts is 165°F and of the thighs is 170°F.
6. Remove from oven and transfer the chicken to a serving dish. Tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes: 

If the skin does not look golden brown enough you can always place the chicken under the broiler for a few minutes to get it extra crispy!
