Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

Place the chicken breast-side up on a cutting board.
Using kitchen shears, cut along both sides of the backbone from tail to neck, removing it.
Flip the chicken and press firmly on the breastbone to flatten.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels for crispy skin.

2- Make Spice Mix:

In a bowl, combine kosher salt, lemon pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, turmeric, and fresh cracked pepper.

3- Season the Chicken:

Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the chicken.
Rub the spice mix liberally over the skin and underside.

4- Prepare Vegetables:

Chop the onion, carrots, and potatoes into large, uniform pieces.
Add to a baking dish with whole garlic cloves.

5- Season Vegetables:

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining spice mix.
Toss to coat evenly.

6- Assemble and Roast:

Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.
(Optional: Pour chicken broth around the vegetables.)
Roast in the oven preheated to 400-425°F (200-220°C) until the chicken’s skin is crispy and the vegetables are tender, about 45-60 minutes.

7- Serve:

Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Serve with roasted vegetables and pan juices.
