  5. Lay spatchcock chicken on top of vegetables and roast for approximately 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°F. 
  6. Check to see if root vegetables are cooked through.  If not, remove chicken and return vegetables to oven for another 5-10 minutes until cooked through. 
  7. Enjoy!
