Preheat oven to [wprm-temperature value="425" unit="F"].
In a small bowl, whisk together the dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, rub the chicken thighs with oil and then the seasoning mix until well coated. Place them in a baking dish.
In another small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, grated garlic cloves, and mustard. Pour that over the seasoned chicken thighs and nestle in the cut lemon wedges and sprigs of fresh thyme.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of [wprm-temperature value="165" unit="F"]. For crispy skin, turn off the oven and turn on the broiler. Allow them to broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until desired crispiness.
Remove the Lemon Chicken Thighs from the oven and allow them to rest 10 minutes. Squeeze the roasted lemons over the chicken thighs and serve.
