Split the breasts and legs
Split the breasts by cutting them in half crosswise, pressing down firmly to cut through the bone. If desired, remove and discard the wing tips. If necessary, separate the drumsticks from the thighs by locating the seam of fat that divides them on the underside of the leg, feeling for the joint underneath (where the leg bends) with your fingers, then cutting through the joint with a sharp knife.

Season the chicken
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pat dry with paper towels. Drizzle the oil and sprinkle the salt and pepper over the pieces. Toss to coat, ensuring the pieces are seasoned all over.

Insert the June Food Thermometer
Transfer the chicken pieces to the June Roasting Rack set in the June Pan, leaving a little space between each piece for air to circulate. Avoiding any bones, horizontally insert the June Food Thermometer into the center of thickest part of the largest piece, usually the chicken breast.
