  • 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.
  • Layer sweet potatoes, potatoes, and onion slices in the prepared bottom pan. Place the drip tray over top.
  • 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.
  • Brush olive oil over chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Place onto the drip tray of the broiler (the top).
  • 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.
  • Let cool before slicing, about 10 minutes. Serve with potato and onion mixture.
