Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Spatchcock the whole chicken by cutting off the backbone with kitchen scissors or a sharp kitchen knife, then press down to flatten it.

Place the spatchcocked chicken in a baking pan.

4

In a bowl, mix freshly squeezed lemon juice, grated garlic cloves, olive oil, oregano, ground cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, and sweet paprika to create the marinade.

5

Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.

Peel and cut 5 russet potatoes into rounds, then soak them in water before discarding the water.

7

Slice 2 bell peppers into half moons and add them to the bowl with the potatoes.

8

Slice 1 red onion into half moons and add it to the bowl with the potatoes and bell peppers.

9

Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, add salt, and a little oregano to the vegetables, then toss to combine.

10

Transfer the potatoes, bell peppers, and onions to one side of the baking tray.
