Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs to the marinade, tossing until all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature. For deeper flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the herb-infused chicken thighs warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
