Instructions:

Marinated Chicken Spiedies:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.
  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
  6. Grill the chicken spiedies for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred.
