Chicken Spiedies

Spiedies, pronounced “speedies”, are a NY regional favorite and for good reason.
For those of you not in the know, Spiedies are skewered grilled meat that has been
marinated and dressed in Zuzu sauce, placed in a toasted hoagie, sub, hot dog bun
or Italian bread and eaten as a sandwich.

Zuzu works with lamb, pork, beef and even venison but today we are making Chicken Spiedies.


Zuzu mixing in the blender


Finished Zuzu. Pretty isn't it?


I use chicken thighs for this cook because I want the finished product to be as tender and juicy as possible.
A long 24-72 hr marinade time.


Skewered Marinated Chicken


Chicken hits the Primo XL. Grill over direct heat.


Yay!!! Spiedies!!!



Reserved marinade simmering on the stove



Italian bread grilled and moistened with Zuzu


Throw on some shredded lettuce



Add a couple of Spiedie skewers8


Brush some simmered Zuzu onto the finished meat. Now that, my friends, is a thing of beauty!



This completed Chicken Spiedie Grilled Sandwich is worthy of the grill Gods!!!

As soon as you get a whiff of the Zuzu you'll know you made the right decision.

good grief - there just HAS to be a load of flavour in that!

thanks for sharing this - we're grilling more chicken this year, so i will be putting this on the list ~

looking at the ingredients, i'm guessing this is greek in origin? the names also sound greek, but i can't tell for sure ~

thanks for posting some great food!

Fair enough. Send some along to Ken and I for the bump fee YUM!

[gracoman]

Rich...if only it were possible to spread the Spiedie word so easily. Once upon a time, long long ago, I lived in Spiedie country. Spiedies were abundant, and seemingly, everywhere. Not no moe. Now we make 'em ourselves and they are fan-freakin-tastic.

Wake up you non-Spiedieing people, and come over to where the sky is bluer, the water is cleaner, and the grass is greener

Yum Gracoman, those look fantastic!!
