Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the chicken on a cutting board, breast side down.
Using kitchen shears, cut along each side of the backbone and remove it.
Flip the chicken over, pressing down firmly on the breast to flatten it.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
Rub olive oil all over the chicken.
Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Place fresh herbs under the skin for added flavor.
Transfer the chicken to a roasting pan.
Roast in the oven for 45-50 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
