Prepare the chicken by thoroughly rinsing and patting dry. Apply the dijon mustard to the inside cavity of the chicken. Next insert the vidalia onions into the cavity. Along with the onions insert two rosemary sprigs, 2 thyme sprigs, 2 sprigs of parsley and the cloves of garlic. Truss the chicken legs together with a piece of butcher's string. Chop the remaining sprigs of rosemary, thyme and parsley and season the outside of the chicken with the chopped herbs and salt and pepper.

Prepare the vegetables by chopping them in the described sizes and toss with salt and pepper and balsamic vinegar.

Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Roast at 400 degrees until the internal temperature is 170 degrees. When the chicken has been in the oven for twenty minutes, place the vegetables with the chicken, spreading them around the perimeter of the pan.  Approximate cooking time is one hour. The chicken should be done and the vegetables should be slightly crisp.  Remove chicken and vegetables to a serving plate and carve table-side.
