Preparation
1. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small saucepan, whisk together vinegar, 2 tbsp oil, mustard, 1 tbsp maple syrup, garlic, thyme and rosemary. Pour half of marinade into a large bowl and add chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours. To remaining half of marinade in saucepan, whisk in remaining 1 tbsp maple syrup and hot sauce; refrigerate marinade in saucepan.

Remove chicken from marinade and place on other side of baking sheet. Discard marinade. Season chicken and vegetables with salt and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes, until a thermometer inserted in center of chicken reads 165ºF and vegetables are fork tender.
3. Meanwhile, place saucepan of reserved marinade over low heat and bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes. Drizzle sauce over chicken and vegetables.
