Directions

  1. Whisk together lime juice, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Add chicken, turning to coat. Marinate chicken, covered and refrigerated, turning once or twice, for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
  3. Put a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and arrange skin side up, without crowding, in a shallow baking dish.
  5. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
  6. If chicken has a skin, turn oven to broil. Broil chicken about 2 inches from the heat until skin is crisp, about 2 minutes.
  7. Serve with lime wedges.
