Middle Eastern Roast Chicken with Roasted Vegetables and Potatoes

After a short, delightful hiatus, I am absolutely thrilled to be back in the kitchen and sharing this recipe with you! This post might be a little more delayed than originally planned, but for a very good reason. Our family recently welcomed a precious new furry friend into our home, and needless to say, he has unequivocally (and self-admittedly) captured all of my attention and love these past few days. I promise a formal introduction to our new companion very soon, but for now, let’s talk about something equally exciting: this spectacular Middle Eastern roast chicken.

First things first: spatchcocked chicken! If you follow along, you might recall my detailed guide on how to spatchcock a chicken that I shared recently. I can’t emphasize enough how quickly you can master this technique, simply because it truly is that easy. Preparing a whole chicken this way has quickly become my absolute favorite method for roasting. It’s one of those culinary revelations that, once you try it, makes you wonder why you hadn’t been doing it your entire life! Spatchcocking significantly reduces roasting time and ensures the chicken cooks more evenly, resulting in incredibly juicy meat and delightfully crispy skin across the entire bird. What’s not to love about saving time and achieving even better results?
