In a bowl, combine 4 pounds of chicken (mixture of chicken breast and chicken legs) with ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.

Mix the seasonings well to coat the chicken, letting it sit for 10 to 15 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and drizzle enough olive oil to coat the bottom.

Add butter to the skillet and combine it with the olive oil to prevent burning.

Once the butter has melted, add the chicken skin side down and cook for 6 minutes without moving it to get a good sear.

After 3 minutes, start flipping the chicken to sear all sides, cooking for a total of 6 to 8 minutes until nicely seared.

Add remaining butter, yellow onion, chopped anaheim pepper, and chopped tomato to the skillet.

Smash garlic cloves with a knife and add them to the skillet, cooking everything on medium to medium-low heat for 4 to 6 minutes until soft.

Add all-purpose flour to the skillet and combine well, cooking for about 20 seconds.

Pour in tomato sauce and cook for 30 to 40 seconds.

Add chicken broth (made with 1 cup warm water and 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon) and half and half (or 1/2 cup half and half and 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream) to the skillet, mixing well.

Cook for about 2 minutes on medium-low heat, allowing the flavors to meld.

Add mexican oregano and a bay leaf to the mixture, then turn off the burner and mix well.

Taste the broth and adjust salt if necessary, cooking for a minimum of 2 minutes on low heat after adding salt.

Place the chicken pieces skin side up into the pot, ensuring they're coated with sauce.

If desired, add chopped potatoes to the pot.

Transfer the cast iron skillet to the oven and bake at 380 degrees for 1 hour.

After baking, pour sauce over the chicken and garnish with cilantro before serving.
