INGREDIENTS
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first four ingredients and ½ teaspoon of salt. Place chicken in bag, seal and turn to coat. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
Next In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil; whisk until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Place carrots in a small bowl, pour vinegar mixture over top. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
