Chicken Spiedies Marinated Chicken On A Bun Recipes

CHICKEN SPIEDIES

Steps:

• Whisk lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, basil, mint, parsley, oregano and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in oil. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade in a small bowl and refrigerate. Place chicken in a large sealable bag and add the remaining marinade. Seal the bag and massage the chicken to thoroughly coat. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
• Preheat grill to high.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the remaining marinade). Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and divide among 4 metal skewers.
• Oil the grill rack. Grill the chicken, flipping often, until charred on all sides and an instantread thermometer registers 160 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a clean plate and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the skewers and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Drizzle with the reserved marinade and serve on buns.

CHICKEN SPIEDIES (MARINATED CHICKEN ON A BUN)

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).

SPIEDIES MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine oil, wine, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, tarragon, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Stir in onion and garlic. Add chicken cubes last; coat thoroughly.
• Pour mixture into a resealable freezer bag, making sure there is as little air as possible in the bag. Wrap bag in a paper towel and slide it into another resealable bag so that the zippers are at opposite ends. Refrigerate, flipping over every 12 hours, for 2 to 3 days.
• Soak wooden skewers in water. Thread the chicken cubes through the skewers, discarding marinade.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill the chicken skewers, flipping halfway, until juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes.

" LUPO'S " CHICKEN SPIEDIES

Steps:

• Dice chicken breasts into 1" cubes.
• Whisk all other ingredients together to form marinade. Set some aside for basting or sauce if desired (though I don't think this is necessary).
• Add marinade to chicken and refrigerate overnight, stirring occasionally (the acidic nature of the marinade will 'chemically' cook the meat partially).
• Thread 5 or so cubes onto metal or soaked bamboo skewers and grill for a few minutes either side, just until meat is firm (remember, they're already partially cooked by the marinade).
• Place two skewers on a fresh bread roll or Italian bread, grip the meat firmly with the bread and pull out skewers.
• Enjoy!

GRILLED CHICKEN SPIEDIES

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.

CHICKEN SPIEDIE

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts into large cubes. Place the chicken in a large sealable container and pour the spiedie marinade over. Mix well, cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours (best if marinated for 24 hours). Be sure that the meat is fully submerged and to maximize the flavors, stir once or twice throughout the marinating process.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the on the grill over medium heat turning frequently. Grill for about 10 to 12 minutes. Cut the largest piece in half to make sure that the meat is cooked all the way through.
• Spread butter on the inside of the steak rolls, grill the insides until just crisp and place the chicken on the rolls.

CHICKEN SPIEDIES

Steps:

• Cut chicken into skewer size cubes, about 1.5 inches or so.
• Mix marinade ingredients together in a nonmetallic dish. Add meat, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours; stir occasionally.
• Oil will solidify when refrigerated, so remove the spiedies once or twice a day to allow the oil to "melt" and then stir.
• Spiedies may be left marinating in the refrigerator for two to five days. Add more marinade, if required.
• Before cooking, cut green peppers and onions into skewer size pieces. Alternate marinated chicken pieces with vegetables on skewer, about 6 inches of meat/veggie.
• To cook spiedies: Grill on the barbecue grill for 8 to 10 minutes, brushing marinade on them occasionally and turning them every few minutes. Do not overcook, but make sure that chicken is done!
• DO NOT use leftover marinade on spiedies at the serving table because the raw meat may have left unhealthy bacteria in the sauce.
• To serve: Grasp the bread in one hand, place the skewer inside and pull the skewer out, leaving the spiedies inside.
• You can also eat them right off the skewer.
• They're also good in a salad. Cooked leftovers (if any) keep well in the fridge for several days.
