2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup white wine
1 sliced lemon

Instructions

Then make the compound butter: In a bowl add soft butter, garlic, onion, paprika powder and mix to make a pasta.
Spread the compound butter all over the chicken top with the chopped rosemary and Italian parsley.
Lay the vegetables on a baking sheet drizzle with the olive oil, and the remaining spices you used to season the compound butter. salt and pepper to taste.
Lay the chicken on top of the seasoned vegetables, add the lemon slices and roast in a preheated 400- degree oven for 45 minutes. Add the wine the last 15 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before cutting. Pour the pan juices over the top.

Notes

Spatchcocking the chicken is the secret to evenly cooked chicken with crispy skin. Press the chicken firmly to flatten it before roasting, and pat the skin completely dry before seasoning. This helps the skin brown beautifully while the vegetables roast underneath.
