Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal fire using about 6 pounds of charcoal briquettes; let burn until coals are completely covered with a thin coating of light gray ash, 20 to 30 minutes. Spread the coals evenly over grill bottom; place grate on grill, and heat until hot. (It is hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grill surface for no longer than 3 or 4 seconds.) Or preheat a gas grill to high (450°F to 550°F).
- Combine chicken, sausage, tomatoes, okra, onion, bell pepper, and poblano in a large bowl. Add oil and 2 teaspoons of the Creole seasoning, and toss to coat. Thread chicken, sausage, tomatoes, and okra, separately, onto 10-inch metal skewers. Thread bell pepper and poblano onto a 10-inch skewer. (You will end up with a skewer of chicken, a skewer of sausage, etc. The onions will go directly on the grill. You can use a metal grilling basket instead of skewers for the vegetables.)
- Place chicken on grate over hottest part of grill; arrange sausage over slightly cooler heat. Arrange onions and the skewered vegetables at the edges of the grill. Grill, uncovered, turning once or twice, until chicken juices run clear and chicken is done, the sausage is heated through, and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove meat and vegetables from skewers, and transfer with onion to a large bowl.
- Add ketchup and scallions to grilled mixture in bowl, and toss together. Immediately cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and let stand until vegetables are slightly wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove plastic wrap from bowl. Stir to combine; sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning and, if desired, hot sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium high or preheat broiler.
- Brush oil on all vegies and meat, and season with salt, pepper and creole seasoning.

Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for plump, juicy chicken breasts and sausages, and select a variety of vegetables that will grill well, such as bell peppers, onions, and zucchini.
- Marinate the chicken and sausage: Marinating the chicken and sausage in a flavorful mixture of Creole spices, olive oil, and herbs will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Skewer the ingredients properly: When skewering the chicken, sausage, and vegetables, make sure to alternate the ingredients so that each skewer has a good mix of meat and vegetables. This will help to ensure that the skewers cook evenly.
- Grill the kabobs over medium heat: Grilling the kabobs over medium heat will help to prevent the chicken and sausage from burning while still allowing them to cook through. Cook the kabobs for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sausage is browned.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Grilled Creole chicken and sausage kabobs pair well with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, or Creole mustard sauce.
