Remove all but 1 tablespoon oil from pan. Add onion; stir often over medium-high heat until tinged with brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in paprika, ginger, turmeric, and pepper.
Add 1 cup water, chicken, olives, 6 preserved lemon quarters, and 1 tablespoon preserved lemon liquid. Cover pan and simmer, turning once, until meat is no longer pink at bone (cut to test) 20 to 25 minutes.
Skim and discard fat; transfer chicken and sauce to a wide bowl. Garnish chicken with remaining lemon wedges and cilantro.

For less sodium, use ripe olives instead of calamatas.
