Instructions
Combine the spices (paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and cayenne) in a small bowl. Set aside.
Season both sides of the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the chicken pieces, skin side down, in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook them until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces over and brown the other side for about 3 more minutes. If the pan becomes too hot, reduce the heat to medium. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, for about 5 minutes. If the pan becomes too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and previously mixed spice mix. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the broth, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits.

Seasonings, especially salt, are guidelines. Adjust to taste.
Depending on the size of your pan, you might need to brown the chicken pieces in two batches. I use a fairly small Dutch oven to make this recipe, so I brown four chicken pieces first and then the remaining ones. You don't want them too crowded in the pan - if they are, they won't brown as much, and the dish won't be as flavorful.
You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat them covered (to prevent splatters) in the microwave at 50% power.
You can freeze the cooled leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to three months and thaw them overnight in the fridge before reheating them.

This was great! So easy to prepare because all the steps are very easy to follow, and so delicious!
I love the flavors in this dish. Had it with hummus, pita bread and arugula salad with a yogurt dressing. I know I’ll make it again because it’s so easy!
This was an easy and delicious weeknight recipe. I appreciated that the spice blend used things I normally keep on hand and didn't require special purchases. Served with jasmine rice, steamed broccoli and some acorn squash. Definitely will make this again!
Definitely a favorite recipe of yours at our home.
