Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and season evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the marinade by combining yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes; for best results, marinate for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator.
Arrange the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up. Make sure to leave some space between each piece for even cooking.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). For extra crispiness, broil the chicken on high for an additional 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
