Pat dry chicken with kitchen tissues and cut to 1½ inch size pieces. Add the chicken to the marinade. Cover and rest for 12 to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Preheat the oven to 200 C or 400 F for at least 15 mins.

Prepare a grilling tray - spread a foil and grease it.

Place the chicken pieces, ½ inch apart, over the tray along with onions and tomatoes.

Grill for 15 to 20 mins depending on the size of the pieces. After 10 mins turn them to the other side with a tong.

Move to the top rack and broil for 2 to 3 mins. Shred the chicken in the tray and serve.
