When you find confusing instructions on the Internet, the first thing to do is to see if it was posted elsewhere. This is not specific to Food52 or even just food recipes in general, this advice is applicable to anything: knitting, Linux system administration, auto repair, whatever.
In this case the recipe author conveniently put the URL to the original recipe (hosted at the author's blog) in the headnote:
https://jimcooksfoodgood.com/maple-dijon-chicken/
There it is clear that it's 1/4 cup vinegar (apple cider preferred).
The original version also calls for 1 tablespoon of caper brine instead of 1 teaspoon in the Food52 version. Which is correct? Who knows but typically the recipe on the author's own blog is the right one. Cross posted versions often suffer from poor copy editing and alas this is not restricted to Food52.
