Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, toasted cumin, and crushed oregano. Whisk in olive oil until fully blended.
- Gently coat the chicken thighs with the prepared marinade, ensuring every piece is evenly covered. Transfer to a large resealable bag or dish, seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and pat the skin dry with paper towels. Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet, skin side up, and roast for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Baste the chicken thighs with leftover marinade halfway through cooking. For crispier skin, switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
- Check for doneness with an instant-read thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 175°F (80°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes
Marinate the chicken overnight for the best flavor. Ensure chicken skin is dry before roasting for crispy results.
