In a small bowl, combine ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, saffron threads, salt, and black pepper.

Rub half of the spice mixture on the chicken legs, and set the remaining half aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear the spice-rubbed chicken legs in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on both sides until golden, then transfer them to a plate and set aside.

In the same skillet, sauté the finely diced onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper until translucent and fragrant.

Reduce the heat to medium, then add the tomato paste, uncooked rice, and remaining spice mixture to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes.

Pour chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and nestle the chicken back into the skillet.

Cover the skillet and let the rice simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Drizzle the lime juice over the rice and sprinkle with the minced cilantro.
