1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Farenheit. Spread the vegetables and garlic in a single layer over the bottom of a Pyrex pan, so they will crisp and brown nicely. (You may need to use two pans.)
2. Season with salt and pepper, combine the oil and vinegar, then pour over the vegetables and add the rosemary (leaving some sprigs whole if using fresh and stripping the leaves off the rest.) Toss the vegetables with your hands and tuck the chicken pieces in among them. Bake for 45 minutes, until cooked through.
3. Remove from the oven and serve.
