Sausage And Chicken Kabobs Recipes

Steps:

• Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
• Cook bacon pieces in a microwave oven for about 1 minute, or pan fry until the edges begin to curl but the bacon is still flexible. Drain well.
• Cut each sausage into 5 pieces.
• Thread an end piece of sausage onto skewer followed by a piece of bacon, onion, bell pepper, and another piece of bacon. Repeat using center sausage pieces and finishing with end piece (center sausage pieces will be "sandwiched" between bacon). Repeat with remaining skewers and sausages.
• Place skewers on hot oiled grill and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side (16 to 20 minutes total).
• Meanwhile, squeeze the orange juice into the BBQ sauce and stir to combine. Brush kabobs with BBQ sauce with each turn. Serve hot with orange slices or wedges.
• INDOOR: Prepare kebabs as directed. Preheat broiler. Place kebabs on wire rack over foil lined baking sheet or broiler pan. Place under broiler 4 to 6 inches from heat source and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side. Brush with BBQ sauce with each turn.

Steps:

• For the marinade: Whisk the oil, parsley, chives, soy sauce, garlic, lemon zest and pepper in a medium bowl.
• For the skewers: Alternating the vegetables and meat, thread 3 pieces each of sausage, zucchini and lemon, and 2 pieces each of fennel and bell pepper onto each skewer. Pour or brush the marinade over the skewers. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until ready to grill.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Oil the grill with vegetable oil. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the sausage is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Arrange on a platter and serve.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Place bacon slices in single layer on paper towel-covered microwaveable plate; cover with second paper towel. Microwave on HIGH 3 min. or until partially cooked. (Bacon should be slightly limp.) Drain bacon; cool.
• Meanwhile, toss steak strips with 1 Tbsp. Dry Rub. Starting at one short end, tightly roll up each steak strip into pinwheel. Thread onto skewers.
• Place 1 bacon slice over each chicken strip; thread onto additional skewers. Thread sausage onto additional skewers.
• Grill skewers 8 to 12 min. or until done, turning occasionally and removing from grill when done. (Beef skewers should be done first.)
• Meanwhile, mix mayo, 2/3 of the garlic and remaining Dry Rub in small bowl until blended. Combine beans, dressing, onions, parsley and remaining garlic in separate bowl.
• Serve meat with mayo mixture, bean mixture and orange wedges.

Steps:

• Cut the chicken and sausage into thick pieces of roughly equal size and place in a large ziploc bag.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the remaining ingredients for the marinade. Pour the marinade into the ziploc bag with the meat, seal and distribute so all of the meat is covered with marinade. Let sit for a minimum of two hours or up to eight.
• When finished marinating, skewer the meat onto metal or wooden skewers, alternating two pieces of sausage, then two pieces of chicken.
• Grill for 20 minutes or until done, turning the kebabs once halfway during cooking.
• Serve on a platter, and take the meat off the skewers at the table. It makes a nice presentation.

Steps:

• Prepare Herbed Dipping Sauce. Cover and refrigerate.
• Cut chicken into long strips, about 1/2 inch thick. Place in a medium bowl. For marinade, combine the olive oil, green onion, lime juice, parsley, oregano, and garlic. Pour marinade over chicken; stir to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 8 hours.
• Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Thread strips of chicken and sausage onto 6 long skewers.
• For a charcoal grill, grill kabobs on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 12 to 14 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, turning to brown evenly. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place kabobs on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.) Remove kabobs from grill. Serve with Herbed Dipping Sauce and grilled lime wedges. Makes 6 servings.
• Herbed Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl combine 1/4 cup dairy sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion and/or chives, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon snipped fresh Italian parsley, and 1 tablespoon snipped fresh oregano.
