Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with black pepper and 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt. Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and cook, undisturbed, until skin is deeply browned and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn chicken over, and cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, and set aside.

Remove and discard all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings in the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms, and spread into an even layer; cook, undisturbed, for 4 minutes. Stir in shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden brown and tender, about 4 minutes. Add tomato paste and garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from heat; add the 1/2 cup vermouth, and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost reduced but some liquid remains, about 1 minute.

Place skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in diced tomatoes, stock, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Nestle chicken thighs, skin-side up, in tomato mixture, making sure chicken skin exposed and not covered by tomato mixture. (It’s OK if some sides of skin are submerged).
