In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, cayenne, cumin, coriander, curry, cinnamon, and allspice. Set aside.
If the fennel came with the long fronds, cut them off and remove for garnish. Slice the fennel into 1-inch bias cut strips.
Season the chicken pieces on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, skin side down, in batches. Sear until skin is nice and brown, try not to shake the pan too much.
Remove chicken to a baking dish or oven- to- table casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the spice mixture on the chicken, rubbing it into the pieces.
Add the fennel, onion, carrots, and parsnips to the pan. It should still have olive oil in it plus some fat that the chicken pieces rendered. If necessary, add a drop of olive oil. Saute and scrape up all of the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the remaining spice mixture. Cook for 3 minutes, until nice and shiny.
Surround the chicken with the vegetables. Add chicken broth to come halfway up on the chicken.
