Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk the mixture until well combined.
Add the skinless chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are thoroughly coated.
Arrange the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve. Enjoy your low-carb oven-baked chicken thighs with your choice of low-carb side dishes.
