Devil'S Chicken Thighs With Braised Leeks

• 12 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 cup thinly sliced onion
• 2 dried hot red chiles, sliced
• 2 bay leaves, crumbled
• 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, divided
• 3/4 cup dry vermouth, divided
• 5 tablespoons butter, divided
• 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
• 1/2 cup finely diced shallots
• 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 3/4 cup chicken stock

1. Combine first 4 ingredients with 2 tablespoons thyme and 1/4 cup vermouth in a large bowl, tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Prepare Braised Leeks, set aside.
3. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; cook 3 minutes or until golden brown. Stir in breadcrumbs, parsley, and 1 tablespoon thyme. Set aside.
4. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat; add shallots and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme. Saute 2 minutes or until shallots are translucent. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup vermouth. Simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half. Transfer to a bowl; cool 10 minutes. Whisk in mustard and next 3 ingredients; set aside.
5. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade, and pat dry. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook 6 minutes or until deep golden brown. Turn, and cook 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; discard excess drippings from pan.
6. Stir in chicken stock, scraping with a wooden spoon to deglaze pan. Pour sauce over Braised Leeks; set aside.
