Ingredients
Method
In large bowl, whisk together oil, honey, tahini, lemon juice, salt (if using) and pepper. Add chicken, turning to coat. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Place dukkah in shallow dish; spoon 1 tbsp into small bowl and set aside. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge chicken in dukkah, pressing to adhere; discard leftover marinade and unreserved dukkah.
Alternately thread chicken, zucchini and red onion onto 6 metal or soaked wooden skewers. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Place skewers on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer to serving platter; sprinkle reserved dukkah over top.
BEER PAIRING: Muskoka Brewery (Bracebridge, Ont.)
Craft Lager: This crisp lager brightens and tempers the spices in the dukkah rub.
