Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped fresh rosemary, fresh thyme leaves, minced garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the herb and oil mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
After marinating, transfer the chicken thighs to a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and is no longer pink in the center.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
