Spiedino Spiedies Speedies Marinade For Chicken Recipes

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.

SPIEDIES

Steps:

• Place the cubed chicken into a large resealable plastic bag or container, add the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, garlic, garlic salt, oregano, garlic salt, mint, basil, and black pepper. Seal the container and shake until combined. Refrigerate for 1 to 3 days, shaking the container to turn the meat every 6 to 8 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. When you are ready to cook, remove meat from the marinade and place on skewers.
• Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook, turning every three minutes until cooked through and the internal temperature of the meat reaches 170 degrees F (75 degrees C). Be careful not to overcook or the meat will be very dry. Serve the grilled meat on Italian bread or hot dog rolls.

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).

• Serve immediately with Spiedino (Spiedies) dipping sauce, about 1/4 cup per serving.

CHICKEN SPIEDIE

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts into large cubes. Place the chicken in a large sealable container and pour the 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.

DUSTIN'S CHICKEN SPIEDINI

• Spray a baking pan lightly with cooking spray. Wrap each chicken strips around each cheese cube and secure with a toothpick. Dip chicken in olive oil and then roll in bread crumbs. Place chicken in the baking pan. Top with bay leaves and sliced onions. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked through, and cheese has melted, and bread crumbs are golden brown. Serve.

SPIEDIES

Steps:

• Make the marinade: Whisk together all the ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add the meat to the marinade and cover tightly, or place into large, re-sealable plastic bags and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours (or 10 to 12 hours for chicken).
• Build a fire in your grill, leaving about 1/3 of grill free of coals, or set a gas grill to high.
• Remove the meat from its marinade and thread onto metal skewers, or wooden ones that you have soaked in water for 30 minutes or so. The chunks can be placed quite close together. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• When coals are covered with gray ash and fire is still quite high (you can hold your hand 5 inches above coals for only a couple of seconds), place the skewers of meat directly over the flames. Allow the meat to cook, undisturbed, for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, then use kitchen tongs to turn them over and repeat on the other side. Continue turning the skewers every couple of minutes until the meat is deeply crisp at its edges, and cooked entirely through, approximately another 5 to 7 minutes. (Remove them to the cool side of the grill if they begin to burn, and cover the grill to allow them to smoke-roast until finished; this is much less likely to happen on a gas grill.)
• Allow the spiedies to rest on a cutting board for a few minutes, then remove the meat from the skewers onto cut hero rolls or a plate. Serve with hot sauce on the side.

SPEIDIES

Steps:

• 1. Combine the wine, vinegar, and oil in a medium bowl or other nonreactive container. Stir in the shallots, garlic, parsley, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, and salt and white pepper to taste. Cover and allow the flavors to blend for at least 1 hour before using. (The marinade can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 week.
• 2. If you are using wooden skewers, place them in cold water to cover for at least 1 hour. Remove the skewers from the water just before you are ready to use them.
• 3. One to two hours before you are ready to grill, place the poultry or meat in a shallow nonreactive container. Pour the speidie sauce over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours, turning occasionally. If using the vegetables, add them to the marinade with the meat about 15 minutes before you are ready to grill.
• 4. Preheat the grill. Oil the grill rack.
• 5. Thread the poultry or meat cubes (and vegetables, if using) onto skewers, (alternating poultry or meat with the vegetables, if using, and beginning and ending with poultry or meat.) If using wooden skewers, you might want to wrap the tips in aluminum foil to keep them from burning. Place the kabobs on the grill and grill, turning frequently, for about 8 minutes, or until the meat is cooked to the desired degree of doneness (and the vegetables are crisp-tender.) Serve hot off the grill, with toasted pita bread, if desired.

" 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!

CHICKEN SPIEDIES RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts into generous bite-sized pieces. Place in gallon-sized Ziploc bag to marinade in the entire bottle of spiedie sauce. Let sit in refrigerator, at least overnight and up to 3 days, until ready to cook. The longer the chicken marinades, the more intense the flavor will be. Cut veggies into generous bite-sized pieces (tomatoes can remain whole). Chicken and veggies can be skewered onto kebabs for grilling (order: chicken-onion-mushroom-tomato-pepper), or cooked together on the stovetop in a saute pan (no skewers necessary). Preheat grill or saute pan to high heat. TO SAUTE INSIDE: Pour a shallow coating of olive oil into saute pan. Place chicken into pan, then add veggies. Multiple rounds of cooking may be necessary due to pan size; therefore, add a handful of chicken, followed by a handful of all veggies until the bottom of the pan is completely covered. Do not fill pan all the way to the rim, as it will be difficult to stir during cooking without spilling pieces. Move the chicken and veggies around the pan and flip occasionally until sides are visibly browned. The veggies should release water and shrink slightly during cooking, which may create a pool of liquid on the bottom of the pan. If this happens, drain the pan by either pouring the liquid out or dumping the chicken/veggies through a strainer, and continue cooking once the pan liquid has been emptied. Be sure the scrape the bottom of the pan, as the chicken and veggies - especially the onions - will stick to the pan during cooking. If onions burn to black, it's okay! Still edible. Once the chicken and veggies are browned on all sides (some sides may even be slightly burned), dump the chicken/veggies into a bowl for serving. Follow with any additional rounds of cooking and stir all rounds of finished chicken/veggies together in serving bowl until all chicken and veggies have been cooked. TO GRILL OUTSIDE: Place kebabs directly onto grill racks, turning occasionally as chicken becomes visibly browned on downward facing side. Kebabs should be turned onto all four sides to ensure even cooking. Remove when all sides are browned. Edges may be slightly burned, which is completely okay.
