¼c extra-virgin olive oil
8-12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1½-inch pieces

Heat the grill to medium. Oil the grate.

In a large bowl, combine the onion, garlic, chillies, minced rosemary, lemon juice and olive oil; set aside ¼ cup of the marinade. Season the chicken and add to the bowl. Mix well, cover and marinate for 30 minutes.
