Allow the spices to cool, then grind them to a fine powder in a spice or coffee grinder. Add the spice mixture to a small bowl. Mix in the chili powder, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.

  2. Rub the chicken thighs with the spice mixture. Add the thighs to a large baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken. Roast the chicken for 30 minutes.
