Pan roasting bone-in chicken keeps the meat moist and tender. A tip to achieving great color is to lightly dust the chicken with flour before placing it skin-side down in a hot, oiled pan. Be sure not to fuss with the chicken; allow it to brown on one side before you flip it. Go ahead and experiment with the use of different herbs and wines to achieve a unique and tasty sauce.
