Yep. That's the secret. The other one is to use a vertical roaster.

This article, which I have linked to several times here, gives you the
results of Sunset magazines of 50+ ways of roasting a chicken. I
think that makes their recommendations more soundly based than the
individual opinions you get elsewhere. Their most important
conclusions pertaining to your question:

* Size matters. Choose a true roasting chicken of at least six
pounds.
* Temperature matters. Set your oven at 425°F and leave it there.
* For crisper skin, oil or butter the skin before roasting. But
basting does not help.

Cooking time and temperature.
If it is a big chicken the skin should be crisp by the time the meat is
cooked. For smaller chickens, cook them at a higher temperature (and
shorter time). It also help to rub the skin with a little oil before
cooking. FWIW.... with small chickens.... about 1a pound and a half, I
cook them at 425 and the skin gets nice and crisp.

A dry bird makes for the crispiest skin. Wash and dry it. Salt inside and
out. Refrigerate uncovered for a day, preferably two days. Roast it
uncovered.

Dry the skin with paper towels, apply oil to the chicken and roast in a
hot oven.

Another option, is to spread mayonnaise on the chicken, season with s&p,
sprinkle with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.

Beer can chicken. I do mine on our very large gas grill, but you can
make it in the oven, too. Crispy skin and juciest chicken ever.

I know this doesn't address your question, but deep frying it
unbreaded in peanut oil makes it nice and crispy. I love using my Fry
Daddy.

My chicken comes out with crispier skin if I don't put any oil on it.
The skin has so much fat. I do roast on a high temperature.
