In a large bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, oil, mustard, and garlic, whisk thoroughly to blend. Pour into a 9- by 13-inch non-reactive baking dish. Add chicken, skin-side down, in a single layer. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator 1 to 2 days.

Remove chicken from refrigerator and let stand 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Turn chicken skin-side up, remove plastic wrap, and bake 45 minutes, basting occasionally. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees and bake 15 more minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink inside and skin is brown and lightly crisped. Garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
