Sweet Balsamic Chicken

INGREDIENTS
1 ½ pounds chicken
1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
½ teaspoon rosemary
5 cloves garlic, minced

DIRECTIONS
1. Combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary, and garlic in a large, re-sealable plastic bag. Shake and squeeze the contents of the bag to dissolve the honey and the brown sugar.
2. Add the chicken to the bag and seal with as little air as possible in the bag. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 2 hours.
3. Preheat the over to 450 degrees.
4. Place the chicken on a baking sheet. Bake until it is caramelized and very dark in spots, about 30 to 35 minutes, flipping over half way.
5. Place the marinade in a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil (this will kill the bacteria). Reduce the heat to simmer and cook over medium to low heat until thick, about 15 minutes.
6. Top cooked chicken with the cooked marinade.
