Heat a large, oven-proof skillet or roasting dish over medium high heat. Add the chicken skin side down and sear until well browned. Flip and transfer to oven.
Bake the chicken until cooked through, 20-30 minutes. Remove from oven, and take the chicken out of the pan, leaving as much fat as possible. Set aside.
