Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 chicken breasts (3 halves), cut into 1-inch cubes
Spicy Barbecue Sauce, or 2 cups good-quality store-bought barbecue sauce
1 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
1 1/4 pounds new or baby fingerling potatoes
3/4 pound green or yellow summer squash (about 2), cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large bowl. Add barbecue sauce; toss. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Place the water in a large saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon salt and potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer until potatoes are almost tender when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain; halve. Set aside.
  • Thread 4 cubes of chicken, alternating with potatoes and squash, on each of 8 skewers. Gently brush vegetables with a little olive oil. Season with remaining 1/2 tablespoon salt and the pepper.
  • Arrange skewers, off direct heat, on a medium-hot grill. Grill, rotating skewers and brushing with olive oil as necessary to prevent sticking, until cooked through, about 12 minutes depending on heat of grill. Vegetables should be soft and slightly charred. Serve with choice of condiments.

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 medium yellow squash
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill for medium heat.
  • Cut the squash horizontally into 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick slices so that you have nice long strips that won't fall through the grill.
  • Heat olive oil in a small pan, and add garlic cloves. Cook over medium heat until the garlic starts to sizzle and become fragrant. Brush the slices of squash with the garlic oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill squash slices for 5 to 10 minutes per side, until they reach the desired tenderness. Brush with additional garlic oil, and turn occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

4 (8 ounce) bone-in chicken legs with skin

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe vegetables. You can also use frozen vegetables, but be sure to thaw them completely before grilling.
  • If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent them from burning.
  • When grilling chicken, be sure to cook it over medium heat. This will help prevent it from drying out.
  • If you are using a gas grill, be sure to preheat it on high for 10 minutes before grilling. This will help create a nice sear on the chicken.
  • Be sure to brush the chicken with your favorite barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of grilling. This will help give it a delicious flavor.

Conclusion:

Barbecue chicken with grilled squash is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love.
