Add the grated garlic and lime zest to the bowl.

Add turmeric and freshly cracked black pepper to the bowl, about a teaspoon of each.

Add a little over a teaspoon of fine sea salt to the bowl, adjusting if using kosher salt.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix to form a paste.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Coat the bone-in chicken thighs with the spice paste, rubbing it in with your hands.

Let the chicken marinate briefly while the oven preheats.
