Heat the remaining 2 Tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Pat the chicken dry, season with salt and pepper and place, skin side down, in the skillet.
Cook until the skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the chicken, skin side up, to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake until cooked through and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes.
