Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless chicken thighs
• 1 pound smoked sausage links
• 3 bell peppers
• 2 zucchini
• 1 red onion
• 1 cup barbeque sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 10 skewers wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1.5 inches in size.

Step 3

Slice the smoked sausage links into 1-inch thick rounds.

Step 4

Core and deseed the bell peppers, then cut them into 1.5-inch chunks.

Step 5

Slice the zucchini into thick rounds, about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 6

Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges. Separate the layers slightly to make bite-sized pieces.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 8

Place the chicken pieces in a large resealable bag or bowl and pour half of the marinade over them. Toss to coat thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for extra flavor).

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.

Step 10

Assemble the skewers by alternating chicken pieces, sausage, and vegetables until all ingredients are used. Leave some space at the ends of the skewers for easy handling.

Step 11

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Step 12

Place the skewers on the grill, turning every 4-5 minutes to ensure even cooking. Brush with barbeque sauce during the last 5 minutes of grilling.

Step 13

Cook until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F) and the vegetables are tender with slight char marks, about 25-30 minutes total.

Step 14

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 15

Serve the skewers hot with additional barbeque sauce on the side, if desired.
