In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, sea salt, black pepper, and onion powder until well combined.
Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-lock bag or shallow dish and pour the herb marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish, ensuring that the chicken is well coated with the marinade.
Refrigerate the chicken thighs for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, which allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, ensuring a juicy result.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve warm with your favorite Whole30-compliant vegetables or sides.
