Balsamic Glazed Roasted Chicken

Ingredients

Marinade

• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• Juice from 1 lemon
• 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 3 – 4 lbs chicken pieces
• salt / fresh ground pepper

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the first 8 ingredients. In a shallow, container pour all of the dressing over the chicken parts.
2. Cover and place the container in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for several hours. Turn the pieces once in a while to ensure they all have a reasonably even coating.
3. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin side up in a baking dish.
5. Roast for approximately 1 hour, until cooked through.
