In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, dried rosemary, dried thyme, minced garlic, basil paste, Dijon mustard, chicken bouillon powder, red chili flakes, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, and kosher salt. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined to form the marinade.

Add the cleaned chicken thighs to the bowl with the marinade. Use tongs or your hands to ensure each piece of chicken is fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for best results, up to 4 hours.

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Arrange the thinly sliced red onions in an even layer at the bottom of a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.

Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the bed of sliced red onions in the baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade from the bowl over the chicken, spreading it evenly across the pieces.

Place a thin slice of lemon on top of each chicken thigh for added flavor and presentation.

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F and the skin is golden brown and crispy. The onions will caramelize beautifully underneath.

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy chicken.
