Spatchcock Chicken with Hungarian Seasoning

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.
