In large bowl, combine onions, lime juice, salt & pepper. Add chicken & toss to coat well. Cover & refrigerate for 3-6 hours. Remove chicken from marinade & pat dry with paper towels. Drain marinade in colander set over large bowl. Reserve both liquid and solids.

Heat oil in 5-quart Dutch oven. Cook chicken in batches over medium-high heat, turning often, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to plate & set aside.
