Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a bowl, combine garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.

Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet, skin side up.

Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to crisp the skin further.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
