In a large bowl, mix paprika, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and coat evenly with the spice mix.

In the same skillet, add onion and garlic, sautéing until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
5.
Return chicken to the skillet, add chicken broth, and top with slices of preserved lemon.

Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.
