    In large bowl, mix 1/4 cup olive oil, the barbecue seasoning and 1 teaspoon salt. Add potatoes and onion; toss to coat. On each of 4 skewers, alternately thread potatoes and onion, leaving 1/4-inch space between each piece. In same bowl, place chicken; toss with remaining oil and seasoning in bowl. On remaining 4 skewers, thread chicken.

    5
    Place kabobs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 5 minutes. Brush kabobs with barbecue sauce; turn, and brush other sides with sauce. Cook 3 to 6 minutes longer or until chicken is no longer pink in centre and vegetables are tender and browned in places. Serve with slaw.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    You can make the slaw in advance; cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours.
  • Tip 2
    Potatoes can be quartered, covered in water and refrigerated up to a day in advance. Drain before using.
  • Tip 3
    Metal skewers can be used instead of bamboo. Bamboo skewers are soaked in water so they're less likely to burn; there is no need to soak if you use metal skewers.
