Directions

  1. 1Spatchcock the chicken by removing its spine using kitchen scissors to help it lay flat and cook evenly.
  2. 2Give one firm press between the two breasts of the chicken to break the wishbone, further helping it lay flat.
  3. 3Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  4. 4Remove any small tabs of fat from the backside of the chicken; these can be added back later to melt into the potatoes for flavor.
  5. 5Slice potatoes into wedges and a large onion into thick rounds.
  6. 6Place the chicken, potato wedges, and onion slices in a baking tray.
  7. 7Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and coriander.
  8. 8Rub the seasonings really well into both the front and back of the chicken and mix with the potatoes and onions.
  9. 9Tuck the chicken wings behind the chicken to prevent them from burning.
  10. 10Spread the potatoes and onions evenly around the chicken.
  11. 11Add the reserved fat tabs to the tray to melt and flavor the potatoes.
  12. 12Add some water to the bottom of the tray to prevent sticking.
  13. 13Bake uncovered at 400°F (200°C) for about 30 minutes.
  14. 14While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce by crushing garlic with salt in a mortar and pestle.
  15. 15Add lemon juice, olive oil, and water to the crushed garlic, along with more salt, and mix well.
  16. 16After the initial bake, pour the prepared sauce around the chicken and over the potatoes, avoiding large chunks of garlic directly on the chicken.
  17. 17Baste the chicken lightly with the sauce.
  18. 18Return the tray to the oven for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken skin is browned and crispy.
