Drizzle 1 tbsp Red Apple balsamic, gently toss, then add 1 tbsp Wild Mushroom Sage oil and toss again until completely covered. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, Red Apple balsamic, Garlic and Wild Mushroom Sage oils. Place thighs skin-side down on top of the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, then brush on mixture, turn and brush skin side. Place on middle rack, then roast for 25 to 30 minutes. For extra crispy skin, broil for 1 to 2 minutes.
