Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 serving cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste
• 2 sweet potatoes, sliced very thinly
• 2 Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced
• 1 (2 to 3 pound) roasting chicken

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Let cool before slicing, about 10 minutes. Serve with potato and onion mixture.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease both the bottom pan and the drip tray of a broiler pan with cooking spray.

Step 3

Layer sweet potatoes, potatoes, and onion slices in the prepared bottom pan. Place the drip tray over top.

Step 4

Place chicken onto a work surface with the breast facing down. Cut along both sides of the backbone with kitchen shears from top to bottom; remove the backbone. Flip chicken and splay it open. Press firmly onto the breasts with your hands to break the breastbone.

Step 5

Brush olive oil over chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Place onto the drip tray of the broiler (the top).

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 1 hour.
