Instuctions

  1. Arrange the kebab ingredients on skewers by alternating pieces of chicken, onions and apples.
  2. Mix the marinade ingredients in a dish large enough to fit 4 kebabs. Place the kebabs in the dish and coat with marinade. Let sit for approx. 4 hours (30 min. to 6 hours) in the fridge.
  3. Preheat the barbecue to medium high. Remove the kebabs from the marinade. Reserve 1 cup of the marinade and set aside. Barbecue the kebabs for 7 minutes*. Turn them over, baste with marinade and cook for another 7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade in a casserole. Add cranberries and maple syrup. Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with the kebabs.

* You can also broil the kebabs on the top oven rack, or cook them in a regular oven for 30 minutes, or until done.
