Chicken Spiedies (Marinated Chicken on a Bun)

Ingredients for Chicken Spiedies (Marinated Chicken on a Bun)

• 80ml de aceite vegetal

• 60ml freshly squeezed lemon juice

• 60ml distilled white vinegar

• 2 dientes de ajo

• 2 sprigs fresh mint

• 2 sprigs fresh dill

• 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

• 1 cucharadita de ajo en polvo

• 1 cucharadita de pimienta negra recién molida

• 1/2 cucharaditas de orégano seco

• 1/4 teaspoons red pepper flakes

• 1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom

• 675g 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

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 120ml 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 flavour.

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.
