Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, chopped fresh thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful herb mixture.
Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the herb mixture over the chicken thighs and massage to coat them thoroughly.
Let the chicken marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated chicken thighs onto the prepared baking pan in a single layer.
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the chicken thighs for added flavor, then place the lemon halves in the pan for roasting.
Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
