Steps

1. 1

   Combine cumin, oregano, paprika, cayenne, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Drizzle oil over the spices and mix with a fork until a smooth paste forms. Rinse and dry the chicken pieces before rubbing them with the spice mixture. Allow the chicken to rest for 20 minutes to enhance the flavors. Meanwhile, prepare the chorizo while the chicken marinates.

2. 2

   Begin by heating a wide Dutch oven over medium heat and adding half a count of oil. Add the chorizo to the pot and cook until it releases its fat and becomes crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked chorizo onto a platter lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

3. 3

   Begin by preheating the oven to a temperature of 350°F.
