2. Season chicken on both sides and place it in a pan, skin side up.
3. Broil, watching carefully, until the skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, combine the mustard, shallot, and cayenne (if you have a small food processor, just throw them in there and pulse the machine on and off a few times).
5. When the chicken has browned, remove it from the oven and turn it.
6. Spread just a teaspoon or so of the mustard mixture on the underside of the chicken and broil for about 5 minutes.
7. Turn the chicken and spread the remaining mixture on the skin side.
8. Broil until the mustard begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
9. At this point, the chicken may be done, an instant read thermometer inserted into the meat will read 160°.
10. If it is not, turn off the broiler and let the chicken remain in the oven for another 5 minutes or so.
11. Garnish with the parsley if you like and serve.

I just finished eating these tasty chicken thighs. Thanks for mentioning Mark Bittman, it gave me extra incentive to try this. I usually try to make the dish as posted the first time but I threw these thighs in with some others that I was soaking in buttermilk and salt for sous vide fried chicken tomorrow. The buttermilk gave them a delicious tang and I'll do it that way again if I have the time.
