Whisk garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, and honey in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let sit at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. Preheat oven to 450°. Transfer chicken and marinade to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, placing chicken skin side down. Roast until fat begins to render, 15–20 minutes. Turn chicken skin side up and continue to roast, basting occasionally with pan drippings, until chicken is cooked through and deeply browned, 15–20 minutes longer.

Serve with rice.
