Ingredients

  • 1 Spatchcock Chicken
  • 12 Golden potatoes, peeled and cut into halves or quarters
  • 4 Shallots, cut into quarters
  • 10 Garlic cloves, whole
  • 3 Thyme sprigs, fresh
  • 0.33 cup Olive oil (for the pan)
  • 0.75 cup Water
  • 0.5 teaspoon Flaky salt
  • 0.33 cup Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1.5 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1.5 tablespoon Tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Honey

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 420°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Drizzle olive oil into a large, oven-safe pan.

  3. 3

    Add the quartered potatoes, quartered shallots, whole garlic cloves, and fresh thyme sprigs to the pan. Arrange them around the edges, leaving space in the center.

  4. 4

    Place the spatchcock chicken in the center of the pan, on top of the vegetables.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, combine all the paprika paste ingredients: olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, Aleppo pepper, garlic powder, tomato paste, and honey. Mix well until a uniform paste is formed.

  6. 6

    Brush about three-quarters of the paprika paste all over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  7. 7

    Add 3/4 cup of water to the remaining paprika paste in the bowl and mix to create a sauce. Pour this sauce over the potatoes in the pan.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle flaky salt over the entire dish, including the chicken and potatoes.

  9. 9

    Cover the pan first with a sheet of wet parchment paper, then tightly with aluminum foil.

  10. 10

    Bake in the preheated oven at 420°F (220°C) for 1 hour.

  11. 11

    After 1 hour, carefully remove the aluminum foil and parchment paper. Return the uncovered pan to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes.

  12. 12

    To get a golden-brown, crispy skin, switch the oven to convection broil at 450°F (232°C) and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.

  13. 13

    Remove the pan from the oven. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before carving and serving with the roasted potatoes.
