Preheat the oven to 425 F. Lightly oil or line a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Combine minced garlic, oregano, salt, chili powder, cumin, pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl; mix to form a paste.
Trim excess skin and fat from 4 chicken leg quarters. Arrange them in the prepared dish and rub with the garlic-spice mixture.
