1. In a bowl coat chicken pieces with a mixture of flour, coriander, cumin, paprika, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

2. In a 4-quart Dutch oven cook onion and garlic in hot oil about 5 minutes or until tender. Remove from Dutch oven, reserving oil in pan. Add chicken pieces, about half at a time, to pan.
