Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin, then add them to the bowl with the marinade.
Toss the chicken thighs in the herb mixture until they are thoroughly coated.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature reads at least 165Β°F (74Β°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve warm. Enjoy your dairy-free herb roasted chicken thighs!
