Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crisp skin.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the herb mixture thoroughly over the chicken thighs, making sure to get under the skin as well.
Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a baking dish, skin-side up.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of compatible Whole30 sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
