Prepare the ingredients at the cutting board, including chicken thighs, spices, and vegetables.

Use a mortar and pestle to crush spices: cinnamon, chili, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and black peppercorn.

Rinse the chicken thighs and season them with the crushed spices, ensuring they adhere to the chicken.

Heat olive oil in a sauté pan and add the seasoned chicken thighs to brown them on both sides.

Flip the chicken thighs to ensure even browning and develop a crust, cooking for about 10 minutes.

Chop the red onion and add it to the pan, sautéing until translucent.

Add a whole bulb of minced garlic to the pan and let it soften with the onions.

Transfer the browned chicken, onions, and garlic to an 8-quart pot, draining excess oil as needed.

Add 32 to 48 ounces of tomato juice to the pot and bring to a boil, then cover and simmer.
