Meet the chicken spiedie: chicken that tastes like it has been marinated in Italian dressing, skewered and grilled over charcoal, and put onto a soft, white bun with absolutely nothing else on it.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1⁄3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
1⁄4 cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1⁄4 cup (60ml) distilled white vinegar
2 garlic cloves
2 sprigs fresh mint
2 sprigs fresh dill
1⁄2 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1⁄4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 1⁄2 pounds (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch (2.5cm) chunks
4 super-soft hero rolls, split lengthwise
Shredded iceberg lettuce, chopped tomatoes, chopped white onion, sliced pepperoncini, and chopped olives

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, mint, dill, salt, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, and cardamom and puree until smooth and emulsified.
  • Put the chicken in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it, reserving about 1⁄2 cup marinade in a small bowl, and covering and refrigerating it. Mix the chicken well with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24. The acidic marinade will start to break down the chicken, so if a more tender texture bothers you, marinate for 4 to 5 hours. I, however, am a fan of that texture and think an aggressively long, 24-hour marinade gives the chicken that much more flavor.
  • Heat a grill until it is so hot you (almost) can't look directly at it. Skewer the chicken; you can make a giant skewer to save space or lots of little ones for easier turning. Cook the skewered chicken, turning three times, until nicely charred, 5 to 7 minutes on each of the four sides. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes, then take it off the skewers.
  • To serve on the rolls, top with whichever of the following makes you the happiest: lettuce, tomatoes, onion, reserved marinade, pepperoncini, olives. Or don't use any toppings, as it's meant to be eaten, in my book (which this literally is).
