Spiedies Marinade

Spiedies Marinade

Growing up in Upstate NY, this is a classic spiedies marinade for any form of meat (I prefer chicken, though lamb is the traditional) from Binghampton/Endicott area. Here is my personal take that I have switched up some adding ingredients from my time in the South and PacNW. Serve skewers on lightly toasted French bread or a hot dog bun. To eat, squeeze the roll and pull the skewer out – shouldn’t need condiments (maybe a touch of hot sauce).

Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes

Directions

Step 1
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.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
Soak wooden skewers in water. Thread the chicken cubes through the skewers, discarding marinade.

Step 4
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.

Cook’s Notes:

This recipe works for up to 3 chicken breasts.
