Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
In a large dutch oven over medium heat, add bacon; cook until crispy, about 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
To the dutch oven, add chicken, working in batches as necessary. Cook until skin is golden, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a platter. Drain all but 3 T. grease from the pot.
To the same pot, add mushrooms, onions and carrots; cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomato paste; stir to coat vegetables; add flour; stir until vegetables are coated. Slowly pour in wine, broth and brandy. Return chicken and half of the bacon to pot. Add thyme, season with salt and pepper; bring to a boil.
Once boiling, cover; place in oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through and internal temperature reads 165 degrees, 20 - 30 minutes.
Remove chicken from pot; place on a platter; cover to keep warm.
Return pot to stove over medium heat; add butter; simmer until sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
Serve chicken with sauce poured over it. Top with remaining bacon and parsley.
4-6 servings.
