- Prepare Spice Mixture: In a small bowl, combine ground cumin, turmeric, coriander, garlic powder, paprika, cloves, and cayenne.
- Marinate Chicken: Pat the spice mixture onto the chicken thighs. Combine lemon juice, half of the sliced red onion, and olive oil in a bowl; toss to coat chicken. Marinate for at least 3 hours.
- Cook Chicken: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the marinated chicken on a lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, then broil for an additional 3-5 minutes.
