1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Season the chicken generously all over with salt and transfer to a baking dish. Roast until golden and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken reads 165°F, about 1 hour. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes, then pick the meat from the chicken, discarding the skin and bones. Shred the meat and toss it with its pan juices. Set aside in a bowl to cool.
2. Meanwhile, mix the remaining ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the cooled chicken and half of the pan juices and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and serve on a baguette with arugula.
