Chicken Spiedini

"Spiedini is an Italian-inspired dish that features marinated, breadcrumb-coated chicken breast rolled and skewered and then grilled to tasty perfection," says the Smoke on Wheels BBQ team.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

1 cup Smoke on Wheels BBQ marinade or favorite marinade, plus more for dipping
I used this marinade recipe: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/...alian-marinade

â…” cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

â…“ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

2 cloves garlic, minced

Put the breast halves between sheets of plastic wrap or in a resealable plastic bag. Using a mallet, gently pound the chicken until they are ¼-inch thick. Place the chicken in another resealable plastic bag and pour the 1 cup marinade into the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

On waxed paper, combine your breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, and garlic. Dip the chicken into the extra marinade and coat with the crumb mixture.

Tightly roll the pounded chicken and fasten together using toothpicks. Cut your chicken into 1-inch thick pieces and thread them onto a metal skewer. Remove the toothpicks. Repeat this process with the remaining chicken.

Place the skewers on an oiled grill over medium-hot coals. Cover the chicken and grill for about 5 minutes per side, or until it reaches 165F.

To serve as appetizer bites, skewer each chicken roll with a toothpick for easy snacking.

Looks really yummy and easy to do! Thank you for sharing.

I was hoping to save the marinade recipe too, but you have to have a NY Times account to view it. I see from the cached info on Google that some (or all) of the ingredients in the marinade are --

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil.
¾ cup red wine vinegar.
Zest of 1 lemon.
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons).
4 cloves garlic, peeled, smashed and roughly chopped.
1 bay leaf.
1 tablespoon thyme leaves.
1 tablespoon oregano leaves.

But I'm guessing there might be some salt too?

A quick 'n easy marinade would be Wishbone Italian dressing straight from the bottle. Troutman shared this idea in his thread -- https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...w-slow-chicken

Hmmmm... I didn't realize NY Times did that. I was able to cut directly to the recipe. I guess that is because I have an extension for my Chrome browser called "recipe filter" that cuts through all of the blog type info on a site and directly to the recipe - you can get the extension here... https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...cfnhiioiadakae
Meantime, I'll post the recipe below...
