To be able to roam within the indoors (not in cages) and also to have the accessibility to run outside.
According to the USDA any chicken can be called free range if they have acces to the outside. The commercially raised chickens who reach market weight in 6 weeks instead of 42+ days are in such poor conditions that they are unable to walk, are have no room to move around, are next to the chickens who died from the poor conditions and excess weight (they are morbidly obese chickens) or are scared to go into the dirt lot because they have spent their whole life in a dark tunnel or one with 24/7 artificial light. Some only have a screen to look through for a few hours a day. If you buy from a major producer and they package say free range then it really isn't. Many small family farmers not label their true free range and often organic chickens as pastured raised. If you buy direct or from a reputably local butcher who buys from the local farmers then you will know how the chickens are raised. You will also know of the other animals these farmers raise are treated.
