Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine Balsamic Vinegar (4 Tbsp), Olive Oil (2 Tbsp), Red Wine Vinegar (1 Tbsp), Honey (1 tsp), Herbes de Provence (3 Tbsp), Salt (1 tsp), and Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp), and stir to combine.
3.
Add Chicken Thighs (4) to the marinade, then toss to combine.
4.
Coat a rimmed baking sheet with the remaining Olive Oil (2 Tbsp). Then, add Red Onion (1) in an even layer, and scatter chicken thighs between them, pouring the extra marinade on top of the onions. Add the Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce (1 can) scattered over the top.
5.
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the juice from the chicken runs clear (when the thickest part of the thigh reads at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) on a meat thermometer).
6.
Optionally, garnish with Fresh Rosemary (2 sprigs) and serve with Mashed Potatoes (to taste), if desired.
