Barbecued Chicken Kabobs with Potatoes and Summer Squash
- 1 1/2 chicken breasts (3 halves), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups Barbecue Sauce (page 280), or good-quality store-bought
- 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
- Place the chicken in a large bowl.
- Add the 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 the potatoes.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat; simmer until the 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 the vegetables with some oil.
- Season with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon salt and the pepper.
- Arrange the skewers, off direct heat, on a medium-hot grill.
- Grill, rotating the skewers and brushing with olive oil as necessary to prevent sticking, until cooked through, about 12 minutes depending on the heat of the grill.
- The vegetables should be soft and slightly charred.
