CHICKEN AND POTATO FIESTA GRILL
4 whole chicken legs with thighs FOR THE MARINADE: 1/2 cup prepared Italian dressing 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon chili powder FOR THE VEGETABLE SKEWERS: 1 1/3 pounds (4 medium) potatoes, cut into 1 1/4-inch cubes 2 tablespoons water 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces 2 medium zucchini, cut into 3/4-inch thick slices TO SERVE: 4 to 8 flour or corn tortillas, warmed (optional) Prepared salsa (optional)
TO PREPARE THE CHICKEN: In small bowl, combine marinade ingredients; remove 1/4 cup and combine with chicken in resealable plastic bag. Turn to coat; marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes or up to 2 hours, turning occasionally.
TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLE SKEWERS: Meanwhile, in microwave-safe dish, combine potatoes and water. Cover and microwave on HIGH 9 to 10 minutes or until just tender; cool.
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, alternately thread with bell pepper and zucchini onto eight 10 to 12-inch skewers; brush with remaining marinade. Refrigerate until ready to cook chicken.
WHEN READY TO COOK: Remove chicken from plastic bag; discard marinade from chicken. Grill chicken over medium to medium-low coals 30 to 40 minutes or until juices run clear, turning occasionally.
About 10 minutes before chicken is done, add vegetables to grid; reserve marinade. Grill until tender and lightly browned, turning and basting occasionally with reserved vegetable marinade.
