Start preparing the balsamic vinegar chicken with the emulsion: put all the required ingredients in a jar and close it tightly. Shake it for a few seconds until the aqueous and oily parts combine. It is the mustard which is a natural emulsifier that will help you with this operation.
Clean the chicken skin from any feathers using tweezers, a lighter, or a kitchen torch.
Place the chicken in a lightly greased baking dish: I chose to use only thighs and drumsticks because they are my favorite parts, but nothing prevents you from using a whole chicken cut into parts.
Pour the emulsion over the chicken and distribute it well using a kitchen brush.
Finish the preparation by seasoning the chicken with dried oregano and garlic powder.
Also place a sprig of rosemary divided into several parts in the baking dish.
Cook the balsamic vinegar chicken in a preheated oven in fan mode at 392°F for about 30 minutes.
Serve it hot accompanied by your favorite side dish.
