How do I brown chicken in an oven?

Recipes will often call for cooking chicken in the oven until it browns, like this one and this one. I've tried this several different ways, and every single time the chicken ends up completely dry and inedible with an internal temperature of 200 degrees while the outside is still the same unappetizing beige-grey as the interior. One solution would be to just pan fry, but the issue is I specifically want to cook chicken together with potatoes to make the potatoes taste better. How do I get chicken to bake properly with a crust? Do I need to buy a kind with skin on? Do I need to use more chicken? Am I supposed to just broil it? Is there a way I can get the flavor of the chicken into the potatoes using a pan so I don't I have to deal with this at all? submitted by /u/StoatStonksNow
