In roasting pan, combine marmalade, vinegar, mustard and remaining salt and pepper. Add carrots, parsnips and onion; toss. Place chicken over vegetables; roast 30 minutes.

Reduce temperature to 350 Degrees F. Roast, stirring vegetables, occasionally, until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 180 Degrees F. and vegetables are tender, about 1 hour, 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before carving.
