1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) chicken — cut up or bone-in chicken parts, as desired
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper — to taste
2 tablespoons D’Avolio Balsamic vinegar (18 year-old or Red Apple)
1 tablespoon D’Avolio EVOO
Garlic powder, to taste
Preheat oven to 400: F. Place the chicken in a single layer in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish, on a baking rack if desired. Brush or spread each piece lightly with Dijon mustard. Sprinkle with the garlic powder, thyme, sage, rosemary, salt and pepper. Sprinkle generously with the D’Avolio balsamic vinegar ,then drizzle lightly with D’Avolio EVOO. Place in the oven and bake until chicken is brown and done, basting occasionally with pan juices, about 50 minutes. This is good hot or at room temperature.
NOTE: The ingredients can be mixed in a small bowl and poured over the chicken. The chicken and sauce can also set to marinate for about 30 minutes at room temperature or for a longer time in the refrigerator.
