1. Season the Chicken
Season the flattened chicken generously with 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 tablespoons of paprika, ensuring it is well-coated with the seasoning.
2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Chicken
Arrange the seasoned chicken on a sheet pan with the skin side up and let it sit while preheating the oven to 450ºF.
3. Prepare Vegetables
In a medium bowl, mix together the halved potatoes, onion wedges, quartered red bell peppers, and halved garlic head. Add ¼ teaspoon of salt and a drizzle of olive oil, tossing them to ensure they're evenly coated.
4. Roast Chicken and Vegetables
Place the chicken and mixed vegetables onto a sheet pan and transfer to the preheated oven. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes until the chicken juices run clear.
5. Prepare Sauce
Prepare a simple sauce using the pan juices, combined with finely chopped parsley, the juice of half a lemon, and a pinch of salt. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins, mash them, and stir into the sauce.
6. Serve
Serve the chicken on a platter, drizzling it generously with the parsley and garlic-infused sauce.
