Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Preparation

  • 1.

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
