  1. For the chicken: Arrange rack in top third of oven (about 6 inches from heat source). Heat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Combine salt and cumin and sprinkle chicken evenly on both sides. Brown legs 6 minutes per side, turning once, until deep golden (be careful not to let the chicken burn -- reduce heat slightly if it gets too dark).

  3. Pour in salsa and broth; cover loosely with foil. Transfer to oven and bake 35 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, prepare the garnish: Heat oil in a small skillet. Add seeds and cook, shaking pan, 1 to 2 minutes, until seeds are lightly toasted and slightly puffed (seeds may pop). Sprinkle with salt; set aside.

  5. Uncover chicken and bake 5 to 6 minutes more, until deeply browned. To serve, transfer to a platter, spoon juices over chicken and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.

  6. This recipe yields 4 servings.
