Remove chicken from marinade and spread on a sheet pan. Place sheet tray directly on the grill grate and cook for 20 minutes or until chicken begins to brown.4
Toss carrots and red onion with 2 Tbsp olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Scatter on the sheet tray with the chicken and return to the grill.5
Cook an additional 15-20 minutes or until the carrots and onion have begun to brown and the internal temperature of the chicken registers 160℉ in the thickest part of the thigh.6
Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes until the internal temperature rises to 165℉.7
Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of the reserved marinade. Enjoy!
