Ingredients
  

  • Zest from 2 medium limes
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 450°F. Combine lime zest, garlic, and half the olive oil in a small bowl.
  2. Remove any excess skin from the chicken thighs then rub a small amount of lime mixture under the skin of each thigh, evenly distributing the lime mixture between all the thighs.
  3. Arrange the thighs on parchment or foil-lined baking sheets. Drizzle the remaining oil over the chicken and generously season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Roast thighs until the skin is crispy and the chicken is cooked through, about 20-30 minutes.
