GRILLED CHICKEN SPIEDIES

Grilled Chicken Spiedies image

The term 'spiedie' (SPEE-dee) comes from 'spiedo,' the Italian word for spit, and simply refers to meat grilled on a skewer. This incredibly delicious sandwich, invented in central New York by an Italian immigrant named Camillo Iacovelli, breaks all the accepted rules regarding marinating meats, and not only does it work, it's amazing!

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

¾ cup white wine vinegar
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ cup fresh mint leaves
6 cloves garlic
4 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3 pieces
6 skewers
6 Italian-style hoagie buns

Steps:

Combine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, mint, garlic, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a blender. Puree until liquefied, about 30 seconds.
Place chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag, pour in marinade and massage to coat. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning occasionally.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Remove chicken and place on the skewers. Season with salt. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced slightly, about 2 minutes.
Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turn and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from grill and rest the meat for a few minutes.
Toast hoagie rolls and spread each with some of the reserved marinade. Place a skewer on each roll and carefully remove the skewer, leaving the chicken in the bun.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

PLAN/PURCHASE
2 clove garlic, minced
4 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 Tbsp oregano, freshly chopped
1 Tbsp ginger, freshly grated
2 tsp salt, kosher variety
1 tsp white pepper, freshly ground
1/4 tsp tamari sauce, or liquid aminos

Steps:

1. PREP/PREPARE
2. A Thirty Minute Brine? The trick to the short brine time is the use of the lemon juice. Lemon juice is an acid, and those quick 30 minutes will tenderize the chicken, and allow those spices to infuse themselves. However, no more than THIRTY minutes. After that, the chicken will begin to get mushy, and we HATE it when that happens.
3. This marinade calls for fresh ingredients. If you do not use freshly chopped oregano, and freshly minced garlic, you will not get the awesome flavors this marinade was designed to deliver.
4. I tried this marinade on chicken breasts and chicken thighs, bone-in, or bone-out. However, because you are attempting get the marinade into the chicken, the chicken must be skinless.
5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
6. Add all of the ingredients in a bowl, and whisk together.
7. Add the chicken, cover, and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Set a timer.
8. Chef's Note: Because brining uses salt, remember to reduce the salt that is called for in the recipe you are using.
9. PLATE/PRESENT
10. Remove from the fridge, pat dry, and cook as you would for any chicken recipe. Enjoy.
11. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Time 2h55m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/2 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup good olive oil
2 chicken breasts, bone-in and skin-on

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified. Set aside.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Pour half the marinade over the chicken, reserving the other half to use later. Allow the chicken to marinade for at least two hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Roast the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the oven and pour the remaining marinade over the top of the chicken. Cover the dish with aluminium foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Tips:

Utilize a Variety of Herbs and Spices: Experiment with different herbs and spices to create a marinade that suits your taste preferences. The recipe offers suggestions like garlic, thyme, rosemary, and pepper, but feel free to incorporate others you enjoy.
Customize the Marinade to Your Liking: Adjust the ingredients in the marinade to suit your desired flavor profile. If you prefer a tangy marinade, add more lemon juice or vinegar. For a sweeter marinade, consider adding honey or maple syrup.
Let the Chicken Marinate for Optimal Flavor: Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but ideally for several hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
Choose the Right Cooking Method: The marinade is versatile and can be used with various cooking methods. You can grill, bake, or pan-fry the chicken. Each method will yield slightly different results, so select the one that best suits your preferences and the occasion.
Garnish for an Appealing Presentation: Before serving, consider garnishing the chicken with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice. This adds a touch of color and freshness, enhancing the overall presentation of the dish.
