Directions

1
In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.
2
Add vinegar and lemon juice to the marinade, then coat the chicken leg quarters evenly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken in a roasting pan and pour chicken broth around it.
4
Roast the chicken in the oven for 60 minutes, basting it with the broth halfway through for even cooking.
5
Check the internal temperature; it should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
6
Remove the chicken from the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes, and then sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
