- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions
- 1
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Let the chicken sit with the spices for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the skillet, skin side down. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin turns golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the red wine and chicken broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, placing them skin side up. Drizzle the honey over the chicken. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken braise in the liquid for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Once the chicken is cooked, transfer the chicken thighs to a serving platter. Spoon the flavorful sauce over the chicken. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
