Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, orange juice, and orange zest in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and black pepper as needed.
Put the chicken thighs into a freezer bag (gallon-size) and add 1/2 of the marinade. Seal the bag, removing any excess air. Turn the bag around and upside down to coat the chicken. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or put in the fridge for 1 hour - overnight. Be sure to turn the bag every once in a while to distribute and coat. (save any unused marinade for later)
Place the top oven rack in the middle position of a 400 degree preheated oven. Add parchment paper to a rimmed backing sheet.
Take the chicken out of the marinade and put it on the baking sheet. Add salt and pepper. Throw away the freezer bag and the marinade mixture that is inside it.
Put the fingerling potatoes into a large bowl with the remaining FRESH marinade that you'd saved from earlier. Add salt and pepper for flavor. Then, place the seasoning potatoes around the chicken thighs in a single layer. Don't overcrowd.
Put the baking sheet into the oven to roast until the chicken is fully cooked. The potatoes should be fork-tender, and this will likely take about 25-30 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
