Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, mix the juice of 1 lime, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp cumin, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp salt.
Step 2
Pat the 4 chicken thighs dry and rub the marinade all over them, including under the skin if possible.
Step 3
Place chicken skin-side up on a baking sheet. Roast until the skin is golden and crispy and juices run clear, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with lime wedges from the remaining lime.
