• 1 tsp sweet paprika

• 1 tsp cumin powder

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder

• Olive oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 380°F (193°C).

2. Wash and pat dry the chicken thighs.

3. Mix all dry spices together in a bowl.

4. Rub the spice mix onto the chicken, then drizzle with olive oil (about 2 tablespoons) and mix well for the spice to stick to the meat. Let sit for 30min
