Add the chicken and the sliced half onion to a bowl, pour half of the marinade on it, and mix. Reserve the other half as a dipping sauce.
2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes in the fridge.
If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using.
Thread the chicken thighs into the skewers, alternating with the sliced onions.
Grill for 15 minutes, turning it occasionally.
Or bake in an oven at 400F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
Serve with the dipping sauce.

Notes

Add more vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra flavor.

Wooden skewers should be soaked for at least 30 minutes so they don't burn while cooking. You can also use metal skewers instead.

You can use your favorite spices and seasonings like this chicken seasoning or creole seasoning.
