Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionPulse garlic, mint, oil, and 1 cup parsley in a food processor until very finely chopped; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Season chicken with salt and pepper and spread herb paste over flesh side.
Place, skin side up, on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet; chill at least 3 hours (the dryer the skin, the crisper it'll get).
Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 425°F.
Pat chicken dry and place, skin side down, in a large ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron.
Set over medium-high heat and cook, undisturbed, until skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Add shallots to skillet and transfer to oven.
Roast, turning shallots once, 20–25 minutes.
Turn skin side up and roast until skin is very crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh registers 160°F, 8–10 minutes longer.
Serve chicken with shallots, parsley, and any pan juices.
DO AHEAD: Chicken can be rubbed with herb paste 1 day ahead.
Keep chilled.
