Step 2
Thread 6 pieces of chicken and 1 onion wedge onto each of 4 skewers. Transfer skewers and remaining onion wedges to a nonreactive baking dish; drizzle marinade on top. Bake until chicken is cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes. Divide skewers and onion wedges among serving plates; drizzle with juices from baking dish.

Variations

To grill the kabobs, thread the marinated chicken and onion onto the skewers. Grill over medium heat, brushing with marinade and turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the onions are charred, 16 to 18 minutes. (If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least twenty minutes before grilling.)

I served this for a evening with family and friends. Huge hit. Easy to make and what a delicious taste. I did marinate for an hour before baking in oven.

This was amazing! I grilled the kabobs on our Foreman Grill, and oh my it was good. I added a bit more salt and marinated the the kabobs for a good hour before grilling. Delicious.
