Spicy Roast Spatchcocked Chicken with Rosemary Butternut Squash and Sweet Potatoes

I cooked this as an alternative to a Sunday roast the other day and it was delicious. I learned how to spatchcock a chicken a while ago and I always use this technique as it makes the cooking process a lot faster and the chicken cooks really evenly.
