Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a marinade.
Place the skinless chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss the chicken thoroughly to ensure each piece is well-coated.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching for even cooking.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken thighs for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). The chicken should be tender and lightly browned.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the chicken thighs with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken thighs hot with your choice of Paleo-friendly side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
