- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 (8 ounce) red onion
- 1 (16 ounce) bottle Safeway SELECT Sesame & Ginger Teriyaki Marinade
- 2 carrots, peeled
- 16 cherry tomatoes, rinsed and stemmed
- If using wooden skewers, begin soaking them in water.
- Rinse chicken and pat dry; cut each thigh into quarters. Peel onion and cut in half crosswise, then cut each half into quarters. Combine chicken, onion, and sesame ginger marinade in a heavy plastic food bag. Seal bag, turn to coat, and chill for at least 20 minutes or up to 10 hours.
- Prepare barbecue grill and preheat for direct heat cooking (the charcoal or gas flame is directly under the food).
- Use a vegetable peeler to cut the carrots lengthwise into long ribbons.
- Drain marinade from bag into a bowl. Add carrot ribbons to marinade and mix to coat. Thread chicken onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternating with onion, tomatoes, and carrot strips, folded like ribbon candy; or wrap carrot strips around pieces of chicken before threading (there won't be enough to wrap all pieces). Discard marinade.
- Lay skewers on grill over a solid bed of medium hot coals or medium high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand just above grill level only 3 to 4 seconds). Keep charcoal grill uncovered; close lid on gas grill. Cook, turning once with tongs, until chicken is no longer pink in center (cut to test), about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
