Wash the chicken thighs and dry thoroughly. Split each thigh at the joint and remove the backbone. Mix all of the spice mix ingredients well. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1 cm cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt, and garlic. Divide between one or four large cocottes. Add the chicken stock, brush the underside of the chicken pieces with half of the spice mix, and place the underside on the potatoes. Steam in a preheated oven or grill at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for 30 minutes. Then remove and brush the tops of the thighs with the rest of the spice mix. Cook in the oven for another 15-20 minutes. Serve with a small salad.
