Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them well to ensure they are fully coated with the marinade. Let the chicken sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps redistribute the juices and keep the chicken tender.
Serve the herb-infused chicken thighs warm, garnished with additional lemon slices or fresh herbs if desired.
