Oval Pan Chicken?
Anyone ever though about trying this for comp style chicken?
id would be different than cupcake chicken and would actually look like chicken thighs to a point compared to Round balls!

If I was going to use a pan I would use the rectangular muffing pan. Having said that, I can get great thigh shapes with proper trimming and no pan.
Maybe you should try the sunflower shape:

Seriously, the amount of time you will spend trimming the chicken to fit in the pan is probably the same it will take to trim the thighs without using a pan. I always cook at least 12 thighs; that way six are more than likely going to be similar in size and shape. Just remove one knuckle on the bone, trim the meat to be rectangular and the skin to be rectangular but a little larger than the meat. Wrap into a little pillow shape. If you put the thighs in a half-pan four across, they will be wedged in and will retain the pillow shape during cooking. When you flip them, they will still wedge together and retain the shape. Once it is time to color us and sauce, the thighs will be permanently in pillow shape. Practice a few times, it will come easy and it only takes me about 5 minutes per thigh.

Is there an easy way to remove the knuckle without shattering the bone and ending up with little bone shards mixed in?

For about 13.00 bucks it would not hurt to give the mold a try. We started using molds last year because of all the crazy sizes of thighs. We would find at least 3 different sizes in one pack. The mold helps us make the thighs the same size - at least mostof them. Some are just way too small or chewed up.

Either a good pair of shears or a sharp cleaver. I'm not good enough with a knife to get get it right, but one good whack with a cleaver will take the knuckle off and trim the whole edge square all at the same time.
