• preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. rub olive oil over each chicken breast, then season both sides with salt and black pepper. place the chicken skin-side down on a broiling pan.
• broil in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken breast skin-side up. continue broiling the chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees f (74 degrees c). remove from the oven and allow meat to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
