Preheat oven to 475 F with a large cast iron skillet inside.
Let the chicken sit on the counter at room temp to take off some of the chill. Pat the chicken dry if needed.
Cover the chicken with a tablespoon of kosher salt by sprinkling it all over and patting it in with your fingers.
Add chicken to hot skillet and roast for about an hour or until a thermometer reads 165 when inserted into the thigh.
Let the chicken rest in the pan to make its own pan sauce. If needed, add a couple of tablespoons of water to the pan and stir it in.
