First thing first:
Season the chicken with plenty of salt and pepper. I also add dashes of Old Bay Seasoning
then brown chicken on skin side for about 5 minutes (this can get pretty messy with the oil splatting all over so you may want to do it outside)
Transfer chicken, skin side up, to a baking dish and bake until thickest part registers 160 degree Fahrenheit on thermometer, about 15-20 min.
Enjoy with roasted potatoes and carrot. :)
