Preparation
Step 1
For the quick pickles, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the vinegar, sugar, salt, and
water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Place cucumber, squash and onions into a large
bowl. Pour 1¾ cups vinegar mixture over vegetables. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, then spoon into
a jar. Set the remaining 1 cup aside to cool.
For the chicken, combine the cooled pickling liquid with the barbecue sauce in a large resealable
plastic bag with the chicken pieces. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 6
hours.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, and discard the marinade. Pat chicken dry with a paper
towel. Thread chicken onto 3-4 skewers.
For the vegetables, sprinkle the corn and onion wedges with salt and pepper and drizzle with
olive oil. Divide the onions among the skewers.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place all the kebabs and corn rounds on the
grill and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes per side, but check for doneness, cooking for longer if
necessary to cook through. Brush the pieces of chicken with additional barbecue sauce just
before removing from the grill. Serve on a platter with quick pickles on the side
