In a small bowl, combine the paprika, salt, cinnamon, and cumin.
Place the chicken pieces skin side up on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle and rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken; position the sheet in the upper third of the oven, about 4 inches from the heating element, and bake the chicken, without turning it, for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, butter, and mustard; stir over low heat until the butter melts; remove it from the heat.
After the chicken has baked for 15 minutes, brush it with the maple glaze and bake it for 5 minutes more.
Brush the chicken with the glaze again and bake it for 5 minutes more.
