Preparation

Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them well with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the marinated chicken thighs to the hot oil, skin side down. Fry for about 10-12 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
